Hydromorphological and ecological processes and interactions (WP2)

OBJECTIVES

  1. To develop a process-based European framework for investigating hydromorphology
  2. To develop and test indicators and models of hydromorphological processes and process-form relationships across spatial scales
  3. To identify linkages and feedbacks between hydrology and biota, and between biota and morphology
  4. To establish the importance of natural hydromorphological dynamics for ecosystem function and ecological quality
  5. To identify and quantify potential ecosystem goods and services offered by European rivers and floodplains
