Our paper shows that extreme flood effects on Alpine riparian vegetation remain understudied. Long-term studies are needed to track post-flood succession. #FloodEcology #RiparianVegetation #Phytosociology link.springer.com/article/10.1...

link.springer.comExtreme flood events and riparian vegetation: current knowledge and research gaps across mountain and temperate rivers with emphasis on the Alps - Alpine BotanyDespite their critical role in shaping Alpine and non-Alpine ecosystems, the specific impacts of extreme flood events on riparian vegetation remain poorly understood.
