Overview

Pilot project aims to restore hydrological connectivity in a vital floodplain ecosystem, highlighting conservation strategies.

Key Points

  • The study aims to develop a conservation management strategy for the Danube River floodplain by restoring hydrological dynamics.
  • Assessment of species diversity and habitat fragmentation in the Alluvial Zone National Park.
  • Designing a large-scale pilot project to reconnect side-arm systems to the main river channel.
  • Implementation of a monitoring scheme to evaluate physical, chemical, and ecological parameters.
  • Significant biodiversity recorded, with up to 100% of amphibians and reptiles classified as endangered.
  • Restoration project expected to increase hydrological connectivity from less than 8 days to over half the year.
  • Connection of side-arms to the main channel improves ecological processes and enhances species habitats.
