Riverine flood plains: present state and future trends
Klement Tockner,Jack A. Stanford +1 more
TL;DR: The most threatened flood plains will be those in south-east Asia, Sahelian Africa and North America as mentioned in this paper, and the most threatened areas are the flood plains in south east Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and south west Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global boom in hydropower dam construction
Christiane Zarfl,Christiane Zarfl,Alexander E. Lumsdon,Alexander E. Lumsdon,Jürgen Berlekamp,Laura Tydecks,Klement Tockner,Klement Tockner +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, major new initiatives in hydropower development are now under way, and at least 3,700 major dams, each with a capacity of more than 1MW, are either planned or under construction, primarily in countries with emerging economies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Andrea J. Reid,Andrew K. Carlson,Irena F. Creed,Erika J. Eliason,Peter Gell,Pieter T. J. Johnson,Karen A. Kidd,Tyson J. MacCormack,Julian D. Olden,Steve J. Ormerod,John P. Smol,William W. Taylor,Klement Tockner,Jesse C. Vermaire,David Dudgeon,Steven J. Cooke +15 more
TL;DR: Efforts to reverse global trends in freshwater degradation now depend on bridging an immense gap between the aspirations of conservation biologists and the accelerating rate of species endangerment.

TL;DR: A comprehensive assessment of the world’s rivers and their connectivity shows that only 37 per cent of rivers longer than 1,000 kilometres remain free-flowing over their entire length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity of floodplain river ecosystems: ecotones and connectivity1
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical framework for examining diversity patterns in floodplain rivers is proposed, which is based on the concept of transition zones between adjacent patches and the strength of interactions across ecotones.
