New paper from project RIVEAL about the effects of river regulation on the fluvial ecosystem surrogated by multiple biological elements

January 07, 2021 The paper “Multi-biologic group analysis for an ecosystem response to longitudinal river regulation gradients” was published on Science of the Total Environment journal (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/science-of-the-total-environment). The study assessed how multiple aquatic and riparian biological elements are affected by a gradient of regulation intensity and their interrelations while coping with this disturbance. The paper...

Sixth factsheet of the RIVEAL project is now online!

December 14, 2020 The sixth factsheet of the RIVEAL project follows up a series of information documents introducing the biological elements considered for analysis in the project’s tasks. This factsheet – Bryophytes – features small non-vascular plants that reproduce via spores and include mosses, liverworts and hornworts. These, cannot be classified as truly aquatic plants...

New paper from project RIVEAL about the effects of river regulation on aquatic and riparian plant communities

August 20, 2020 The paper “Streamflow regulation effects in the Mediterranean rivers: How far and to what extent are aquatic and riparian communities affected?” was published on Science of the Total Environment journal (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/science-of-the-total-environment). The study focuses on how different plant groups (macrophytes, bryophytes, and riparian woody vegetation) respond to hydrological alterations along the river...
