Productivity and Connectivity in Tropical Riverscapes of Northern Australia: Ecological Insights for Management

2017-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Flow regimes are fundamental to sustaining ecological characteristics of rivers worldwide, including their associated floodplains. Recent advances in understanding tropical river–floodplain ecosystems suggest that a small set of basic ecological concepts underpins their biophysical characteristics, especially the high levels of productivity, biodiversity and natural resilience. The concepts relate to (1) river-spe...
