註釋Alpine rivers and river corridors provide a number of important ecosystem services. Thereby hydromorphological processes and functions have a pivotal role in shaping and maintain river habitats and their ecological functions, which then provide various services to the society. The availability of these services has been historically greatly modified in densely populated Alpine river valleys by the modification of rivers and their floodplains, and are also currently changing with climate change. New regulations on the mitigation of environmental impacts of hydropower, on the conservation and support of ecosystem services, and the apparent need for an improved communication among stakeholders in river corridors in the EU have raised the need to identify management pathways and governance instruments to implement these policy goals. Hence, the HyMoCARES project identifies the qualitative and quantitative relationships between fluvial hydromorphology and the ecosystem service provisioning, and how management measures influence river processes and functions, and thus indirectly the availability of ecosystem services. The project will demonstrate several practical examples of the influence of hydromorphology on river ecosystem services for several river catchments in the Alps which have been subjected to hydropower use, recreational activities or river restoration projects. The project aims to elaborate a comprehensive conceptual framework relating management measures with hydromorphology and ecosystem services, and to include stakeholders into the evaluation and management of those services, which will help to identify, communicate and eventually choose the most effective actions.
