@bigerscience.bsky.social🌊CDL-MERI researchers Thomas Hein and Günther Unfer share their expertise in ORF Lower Austria on river renaturation, water retention, habitats and the importance of working with landowners and farmers. Read more: noe.orf.at/stories/3373...
Show Post🌊 New paper: The Austrian Research Supersite “Upper Danube Austria” strengthens long-term monitoring of river–sea systems. Linking the Danube floodplains and Ybbs catchment, it supports research, restoration and sustainable river management. 🔗 doi.org/10.1007/s005...
Show PostRivers rise and fall with the seasons. This open‑access paper shows how frequent hydropeaking reshapes habitat dynamics. Management takeaway: treat frequency as a key ecological driver and target patches under cumulative pressure. Thanks to Nico Bätz and colleagues 🔗 iwaponline.com/aqua/article...
Show PostUniv.Prof. Thomas Hein presented CDL MERI results on cumulative restoration effects in the Upper Danube at the 46th IAD Conference in Baja, Hungary. The meeting showcases new Danube research, monitoring, and management approaches. Looking forward to more discussions on sustainable Danube management.
Show PostNew npj Biodiversity paper: ecological thresholds for stream‑fish management 💧. Mapped vulnerability across ~1.73M reaches in the US+Europe and built a Decision Support System combining thresholds with protected‑area coverage to target conservation vs restoration. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s44...
