Hydromorphological and ecological processes and interactions (WP2) [1]
OBJECTIVES
- To develop a process-based European framework for investigating hydromorphology
- To develop and test indicators and models of hydromorphological processes and process-form relationships across spatial scales
- To identify linkages and feedbacks between hydrology and biota, and between biota and morphology
- To establish the importance of natural hydromorphological dynamics for ecosystem function and ecological quality
- To identify and quantify potential ecosystem goods and services offered by European rivers and floodplains
