“…Here, the dimension of time gains in importance. Natural water level fluctuations of the river lead to the repeated connection and disconnection of floodplain water bodies with the main river, inducing the frequent exchange of chemically different water sources (Weigelhofer et al 2015). Floodplains have proven to be especially efficient in trapping nutrients associated with particles (Reddy et al 1999;Fisher and Acreman 2004).…”

“…Floodplain soils may constitute hotspots for denitrification in the case of high organic matter contents and high water tables (Forshay and Stanley 2005). However, the repeated drying and rewetting of floodplain soils can also cause the release of substantial amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus during flooding (Schönbrunner et al 2012;Weigelhofer et al 2015). Disconnections of floodplains from the main river, resulting from river regulation, impoundments, and channel incision, as well as hydrological alterations due to land use and climate changes have largely reduced the lateral hydrological connectivity of river-floodplain systems in Europe, thereby depriving rivers of these important retention structures .…”

“…In-stream reactors within an agricultural drainage ditch yielded maximum nitrate removal rates of 160 g N m À2 month À1 (Robertson and Merkley 2009). In drainage water with fluctuating flow regimes, denitrifying bioreactors may be less effective as alternating high flow rates and intermittency restrict the denitrification process (Christianson et al 2012;Weigelhofer and Hein 2015). Detrimental side effects of denitrifying bioreactors on adjacent surface waters and the atmosphere are an increased output of DOC, especially during the initial phase, and the production of N 2 O.…”

“…Due to the variety of different habitats, floodplains are key landscape elements for biogeochemical processing and hotspots for biodiversity (McClain et al 2003;Tockner et al 2010;Weigelhofer et al 2015). Furthermore, floodplains provide a broad range of ecological and socioeconomic goods and services, including flood retention, groundwater recharge, and aesthetic and recreational values Sanon et al 2012;Rebelo et al 2013).…”

The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland Challenges in Riverine Ecosystem Management Jan Sendzimir and Stefan SchmutzThis book is dedicated to those interested in the natural and social sciences and elements of governance that will support the sustainable management of rivers and aquatic ecosystems. Since elements of nature and society interact to determine the integrity and trajectory of these systems, they are referred to hereafter as socialecological systems (SESs). This introduction opens the door to these topics in four steps. It begins by explaining why a book dedicated to river management and science is needed at this point. In the second part, it outlines the history of some of the major developments that challenge the integrity of SESs worldwide. In the third part, it describes several of the principal tools used to study as well as manage SES. Tools to measure the degree of degradation of an SES include indicators of biological integrity, ecosystem health, and resilience. Tools to assess and manage the trajectory of an SES include the DPSIR and adaptive management. The introduction closes by outlining the structure of the book through the progression of its chapters. Justification of BookRivers are among the most threatened ecosystems of the world. For more than a centur...

“…Não apenas o compartilhamento e troca de informação entre os diferentes níveis (tiering), mas a compatibilização dos interesses de diversos atores em cada arena de tomada de decisão, são o foco da governança multinível. Por último, a noção de gestão adaptativa também pode ser relacionada com a de tiering (IRVINE et al, 2016;PAPATHANASIOU;KENWARD, 2014 …”

AGRADECIMENTOSEm primeiro lugar, gostaria de agradecer ao Prof. Dr. Marcelo Pereira de Souza por todos esses anos de orientação e pela oportunidade de poder fazer parte do seu exército de gestores ambientais, todos muito críticos e audazes. Sentirei falta das tardes regadas a café na casa 39 que, de tão frequentes, me deixaram mal-acostumado. Obrigado pelo acolhimento e confiança.A todo pessoal que já passou pela casa 39, em alguma das suas muitas conformações, e pôde compartilhar um pouquinho de sua vivência pessoal e acadêmica comigo. Um abraço especial para o Cristiano, Ricardo, Nielson, Marcela, Anaís, Nicole, Wendy, Roberta, Tiago, Rodolfo e, mais recentemente, Paulo.Agradeço ao Prof. Dr. Adriano Garcia Chiarello pelas muitas conversas e orientações "por tabela" que nosso convívio proporcionou, e pelas aulas práticas em sobre como preparar um bom café mineiro.Ao Aurélio Teodoro Fontes, meu sempre coorientador e amigo inestimável, agradeço pelo seu enorme coração e pela paciência em "desatar nós" conceituais que só você consegue desatar.As corridas que fizemos pelo campus não serão jamais esquecidas. contribuíram, e muito, para que eu me tornasse a pessoa que sou hoje. Mais que um alicerce, vocês são a personificação do que há de mais verdadeiro e duradouro. A distância física nunca representa nossa proximidade emocional. Conto com vocês para o resto de minha vida. Quero mandar um beijo e um abraço para: Gabriel Sigolo, meu grande amigo de altos papos e palhaçadas; Bruno Maduro, pelas piadas certeiras e por trazer um pouco de maturidade para nossa turma; Beatriz Viana, pelas conversas despreocupadas e despudoradas de sempre; Luiza Helena, por ser a líder do grupo e fundadora do clube de veraneio, sempre muito risonha e amiga; Ana Heloiza, pelas conversas sobre política e sociologia que sempre aparecem em nossos encontros; Isabelle Graciano, pela leveza que é estar com você e poder compartilhar experiências desde sempre; Fernanda Sartori, Fernandinha, médica que, apesar de morar em Curitiba, sempre nos agracia com sua presença em Bauru; Daniela Brisola, delicada e risonha, sempre muito confiável e disposta a reunir a turma; Leandro Arantes, meu companheiro de biribol e construção de frases, desde o pré. Quero lembrar aqui também do Lucas Franco e da Ana Carolina Spinelli que, apesar de às vezes distantes, estamos sempre juntos.Aos amigos que o basquete me deu e que, apesar da distância, sempre organizam uma saída em Ribeirão Preto. Um abraço especial para Cesar Ornelas e Vitor Breda, que mesmo longe sempre serão meus parceiros. Um abraço também para o Henrique Deliberato, Guilherme Felício, Raul Miranda e Pedro Zanoto.Ao pessoal da XXIX de Fevereiro, sempre muito dispostos a nos reunir e conversar sobre como nossas experiências atleticanas influenciam até hoje nossas vidas.Ao pessoal da Vaka que pude me aproximar nos últimos tempos, todos muito especiais e, impressionantemente, cozinheiros de mão cheia. Em especial, Júlia, Marino, Pricilla e Brucce.Ao pessoal do Instituto Terroá, pelo enriquecimento moral que...
