Quantifying biomass production for assessing ecosystem services of riverine landscapes

Koopman, K. R., Straatsma, M. W., Augustijn, D. C. M., Breure, A. M., Lenders, H. J. R., Stax, S. J., & Leuven, R. S. E. W. - 01/05/2018 - RiverCare
An approach for quantifying the changes in the biomass growth over the Dutch Rhine tributaries due to the river interventions and floodplain vegetation management between the years 1997 and 2012.

The role of place attachment in public perceptions of a re-landscaping intervention in the river Waal (The Netherlands)

Verbrugge, L.N.H. and van den Born, R.J.G. - 01/05/2018 - RiverCare
Public perception research can tell you more about the importance of river landscapes as ‘space’ and ‘place’.

Monitoring height and greenness of non-woody floodplain vegetation with UAV time series

van Iersel, W., Straatsma, M., Addink, E., & Middelkoop, H. - 30/04/2018 - RiverCare
We identified at a plot scale the seasonal changes in the terrain, vegetation height, and greenness in a simple way.

Handreiking Voorlanden en Juridische aandachtspunten

H.K. Gilissen, W.J. van Doorn-Hoekveld &. H.F.M.W. van Rijswick - 05/04/2018 - All-Risk
Using the coastal or riverine areas next to the flood defenses may bring benefits beyond flood risk reduction but also several legal questions. Some of these questions were addressed into a decision tool that is part of the foreland guideline.

Longitudinal training dams mitigate effects of shipping on environmental conditions and fish density in the littoral zones of the river Rhine

F.P.L. Collas, A.D. Buijse, L. van den Heuvel, N. van Kessel, M.M. Schoor, H. Eerden, R.S.E.W. Leuven - 01/04/2018 - RiverCare
The construction of this novel intervention in a highly navigated river like the Waal quickly allowed for ecological restoration while continuing with commercial navigation.

Explaining artificial side channel dynamics using data analysis and model calculations

van Denderen, R. P., Schielen, R. M. J., Westerhof, S. G., Quartel, S., & Hulscher, S. J. M. H. - 15/02/2018 - RiverCare
We studied in detail the development of a side channel in the river Waal. A more frequently flowing side channel results in lower aggradation or sedimentation.
