The biota of floodplains has high annual growth and mortality rates, which is advantageous for the rapid colonization of large areas of the floodplain. This allows them to take advantage of shifting floodplain geometry. [19] For example, floodplain [20] trees are fast-growing and tolerant of root disturbance. Opportunists (such as birds) are ...

Biotic interchange is the process by which species from one biota invade another biota, usually due to the disappearance of a previously impassable barrier. [1] These dispersal barriers can be physical, climatic, or biological and can include bodies of water or ice, land features like mountains, climate zones, or competition between species.
Anthropogenic impacts on floodplain mostly target the lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains, so many restoration methods focus on removing human-made structures that disrupt connectivity. [1] One type of floodplain restoration are levee setbacks and dam removal, either full or partial, to allow for rivers to migrate within a ...
