Analysis of the effects of revitalisation on biodiversity, sediment and nutrient retention and ecosystem functions of riverine landscapes along the Mulde river

Experimental investigation of the influence of vegetation structure, species identity and functional diversity on the sediment and nutrient retention capacity of floodplains

In review

Kretz L, Bondar-Kunze E, Hein T, Richter R, Schulz-Zunkel C, Seele-Dilbat C, van der Plas F, Vieweg M, Wirth C (submitted). Vegetation characteristics control sediment and nutrient retention on but not underneath vegetation. Submitted to Science of the total environment.
