abstract = {Floodplain landscapes are highly fragmented by river
regulation resulting in habitat degradation and flood regime
perturbation, posing risks to population persistence.
Climate change is expected to pose supplementary risks in
this context of fragmented landscapes, and especially for
river systems adaptation management programs are developed.
The association of habitat quality and quantity with the
landscape dynamics and resilience to human-induced
disturbances is still poorly understood in the context of
species survival and colonization processes, but essential
to prioritize conservation and restoration actions. We
present a modelling approach that elucidates network
connectivity and landscape dynamics in spatial and temporal
context to identify vital corridors and conservation
priorities in the Loire river and its tributaries.
Alteration of flooding and flow regimes is believed to be
critical to population dynamics in river ecosystems. Still,
little is known of critical levels of alteration both
spatially and temporally. We applied metapopulation
modelling approaches for a dispersal-limited tree species,
white elm; and a recruitment-limited tree species, black
poplar. In different model steps the connectivity and
natural dynamics of the river landscape are confronted with
physical alterations (dams/dykes) to species survival and
then future scenarios for climatic changes and potential
adaptation measures are entered in the model and translated
in population persistence over the river basin. For the two
tree species we highlighted crucial network zones in
relation to habitat quality and connectivity. Where the
human impact model already shows currently restricted
metapopulation development, climate change is projected to
aggravate this persistence perspective substantially. For
both species a significant drawback to the basin population
is observed, with 1/3 for elm and ¼ for poplar after 25
years already. But proposed adaptation measures prove
effective to even bring metapopulation strength and
persistence up to a level above the current level.},
