Abstract
Large lowland rivers and their alluvial floodplains comprise a wide range of biotopes inhabited by many animal and plant species (Adámek and Sukop 1992; Schiemer 1999; Schomaker and Wolter 2011). The lotic systems are highly dynamic, supported by a high ability to recover former, and to create new, biotopes. Natural, non-impacted lowland streams display a rich and diverse lateral and longitudinal zonation of river and alluvial biotopes, with good hydrological and ecological interconnection of pools, riffles, side arms and oxbow lakes, riparian wetlands, flooded meadows and wooded alluvial land.
