Functional diversity as indicator of ecosystem functioning in Mediterranean rip...
Lozanovska, IvanaRiparian forests are ecosystems of high biodiversity and complexity driven by diverse environmental factors and increasingly threaten by anthropogenic pressures. Understanding and predicting vegetation responses to these factors have become one of the most challenging tasks in riparian ecology. This thesis aims to analyze the functional diversity responses of the Mediterranean riparian forests affected by multi...
Multi-biologic group analysis for an ecosystem response to longitudinal river r...
Rivaes, Rui Pedro; Feio, Maria João; Almeida, Salomé F. P.; Vieira, Cristiana; Calapez, Ana R.; Mortágua, Andreia; Gebler, Daniel; Lozanovska, IvanaThis work assesses the effects of river regulation on the diversity of different instream and riparian biological communities along a relieve gradient of disturbance in regulated rivers. Two case studies in Portugal were used, with different river regulation typology (downstream of run-of-river and reservoir dams), where regulated and free-flowing river stretches were surveyed for riparian vegetation, macrophyt...
Functional diversity of riparian woody vegetation is less affected by river reg...
Lozanovska, Ivana; Bejarano, Maria Dolores; Martins, Maria João; Nilsson, Christer; Ferreira, Teresa; Aguiar, Francisca C.River regulation may filter out riparian plants often resulting in reduced functional diversity, i.e., in the range of functions that organisms have in communities and ecosystems. There is, however, little empirical evidence about the magnitude of such reductions in different regions. We investigated the functional diversity patterns of riparian woody vegetation to streamflow regulation in boreal Sweden and Med...
