Riparian species and their relationship with the flow regime in the Mijares River (Spain)

Abstract

The relationship between flows and riparian vegetation has been described in the Mijares River, one of the most important rivers of the Júcar River basin (Eastern Spain). The three study sites have a flow regime which is regulated by a large dam and several hydropower plants. A hydraulic simulation was done in each site, and the time series of flow and water elevation were calculated for the period 1990-2007. The discharge-elevation curves were calculated in channel cross-sections, based on field data (low flows) and hydraulic simulation of large floods (50, 100 & 500 years intervals)
