20.500.12556/RUL-131826 Managing floodplains using nature-based solutions to support multiple ecosystem functions and services Floodplains include unique environments shaped over a long time horizon along rivers and smaller streams and formed by alluvial sediments. As floodplains are flat, often with highly fertile and well-accessible land, they have become the intrinsic focus of human society—while providing a variety of goods and ecosystem services. Intensive land use of floodplains is degrading their natural values and significantly reducing their ecosystem functions and services. A significant part of these key services is related with the ability of floodplains to retain water and nutrients, which can be understood as a flood control and a water-retention function. Although these ecosystems serve a number of other basic functions, the importance of floodplains as a place for water retention during extreme discharges caused by intense rainfall or snowmelt and the supply of water in times of drought are essential under conditions of global change. In order to increase the ability of floodplains to perform these functions, it is increasingly required to preserve the connectivity of rivers with surrounding floodplains and adapt human activities to maintain and restore river ecosystems. This article reviews the recent understanding of floodplain delineation, the most common causes of disturbance, the ecosystem functions being performed, discussing in turn the measures being considered to mitigate the frequency and magnitude of hydrologic extremes resulting from ongoing environmental changes. floodplains floods ecosystem services water and life conservation management awareness engineering water planning water poplavne ravnice poplave ekosistemske storitve true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-10-04 12:37:17 2021-10-04 12:37:19 2025-04-23 16:15:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 19 str. iss. 5, art. e1545 Vol. 8 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 502/504:556 2049-1948 10.1002/wat2.1545 69496067 WIREs_Water_-_2021_-_Jakubinsky_-_Managing_floodplains_using_nature‐based_solutions_to_support_multiple_ecosystem_functions.pdf WIREs_Water_-_2021_-_Jakubinsky_-_Managing_floodplains_using_nature‐based_solutions_to_support_multiple_ecosystem_functions.pdf 1 1C42C56499356A6280F0B92442D1C033 5d20a43c7e2bc2bee5b91dda25811b0ca2de3b98ff0a96e0c4e1b12d8c18ba25 aba53a42-1acb-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=208534 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wat2.1545 1 c29a8018-24fe-11ec-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149240 Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo 0 0 0
