Effects of inundation on water quality and invertebrates in semiarid floodplain wetlands Inland Waters (IF 3.1) Pub Date : 2022-07-25 Wing (Iris) Tsoi, Ivor Growns, Mark Southwell, Sarah Mika, Sam Lewis, Darren Ryder, Paul Frazier
ABSTRACT Floodplain wetlands play a significant role in the storage of sediment and water and support high levels of nutrient cycling driven by intermittent inundation. In regulated rivers, the frequency and duration of floodplain inundation are often reduced. Managed water inundation is used as a tool to help restore floodplains, but its outcome on wetlands requires further quantification. We examined
