Sobre este e-book

Floodplain Formation explores the creation and evolution of floodplains, the fertile lands bordering rivers, emphasizing their ecological and human significance.
Delving into fluvial geomorphology and hydrology, the book reveals how sediment transport and river dynamics shape these landscapes.
Intriguingly, floodplains support disproportionately high biodiversity and provide critical ecosystem services like floodwater storage.
For millennia, human societies have relied on floodplains for agriculture, yet this interaction also brings challenges like increased flood risk.
The book systematically progresses from basic concepts of river dynamics to examining specific floodplain formation processes, such as overbank flooding.
It then explores ecological functions, human impacts, and sustainable management strategies.
By integrating diverse data sources, it links floodplain dynamics to broader environmental challenges, like climate change, and considers human impact through agriculture, urbanization, and flood control structures.
This approach provides a holistic understanding essential for anyone interested in the Earth Sciences and sustainable management of these vital environments.
