“…2). Ambos factores son considerados estructuradores de la vegetación de suma relevancia en contextos ribereños (Webb et al, 2012;Osterkamp & Hupp, 2010;You et al, 2015). Este resultado se reflejó no sólo a escala de las tres unidades de vegetación sino también dentro de las mismas, donde se diferenciaron comunidades de especies más o menos tolerantes al anegamiento, por ejemplo dentro del Humedal se diferenciaron el Canutillar de Louisiella elephantipes del Verdolagal de Ludwigia sp.…”

Coastal reclamation constitutes a world trend and can result in new ecosystems adapted to the new coastal configuration. In Buenos Aires City, the “Ciudad Universitaria - Costanera Norte” Ecological Reserve (RECU-CN) constitutes one example of the expansion of the coastline in the Río de la Plata sector, carried out in the late 1960s. Given the lack of published works generated systematically that cover the entire area, we set as the objective to describe the RECU-CN vascular plant vegetation. For this, a systematic sampling was carried out in 79 plots of 25 m2, where the coverage of each of the vascular plant species present was registered. We identified 154 taxa, corresponding to 144 species, 123 genus and 58 families, and the total richness was estimated as 238 species. Trees and herbs had the highest coverage of all life forms. Through multivariate analysis, three vegetation units (Wetland, Forest and Grassland with groves) and 10 vascular plant communities were recognized. Vegetation was ordered according to two gradients: one of flood and another of anthropization. From the comparison with the typical plant communities of the region, similarities were found only with those registered in the Wetland unit. Results highlight that both the coexistence of physiognomically diverse vegetation units, as well as the native composition found in the plant communities of the Wetland unit, constitute main conservation values of the protected area.

“…The formation and functioning of the vegetation of the anthropically altered territories of delta regions attracted the attention of many researchers (Klimentov, 1960;Tkachenko, 1984;Plisak, 1987;Dubyna & Shelyag-Sosonko, 1989;Syvitski et al, 2009;You et al, 2015). In the Danube Delta, which is located on the territory of two countries, Romania and Ukraine, vegetation dynamic was studied by Ukrainian (Shelyag-Sosonko & Dubyna, 1984;Klokov & Diachenko, 1993;Dubyna et al, 1997aDubyna et al, , 1999aDubyna et al, -c, 2003; Diachenko, 2010; Dubyna, 2021a-f) and Romanian (Godeanu, 1976 (Dvoretsky, 1999(Dvoretsky, , 2002(Dvoretsky, , 2004 studied the effect of mowing on the swamp and meadow vegetation of the Ukrainian part of the delta, O.

At the beginning of the last century, natural complexes of the Danube Delta underwent significant anthropogenic transformations. Catastrophic and successive changes occurred in the last three decades as a result of the damming of the riverbed and near-channel ridges of individual islands and floodplain territories and their subsequent de-damming, the construction of the large-scale deep-water Danube-Black Sea shipping channel, the transformation of significant areas of delta into agricultural land, as well as quarrying of sand, grazing, mowing of reed straw in industrial scale, spontaneous burning, afforestation, pollution of water and terrestrial environment, etc. The coastal ecosystems of the eastern part of the Kilyan arm of the Danube Delta have also been catastrophically impacted by the military actions of the Russia. The paper highlights the main anthropogenic changes of vegetation identified based on long-term comparative phytocoenotic surveys, stationary studies, and the use of the successional series method. Strategy for optimizing the vegetation cover of the delta is offered. The established patterns can be used to develop methods for assessing the risk of ecosystems, and the intensity of their degradation, for the purpose of protection, management, and sustainable use of the biodiversity in the delta areas of the Northern Black Sea region.

“…The decrease in natural flood disturbances enhances the disappearance of typical river environmental landscapes, such as the conditions of a gravel riverbed, and promotes the succession to a woodland overgrowth [1]. In Japanese river ecosystems, not only hydrodynamic forces but also sediment transports disturb river morphology, riverbed conditions and vegetation conditions.…”

For advanced and strategic management of gravel riverbed restoration and stopping of woodland overgrowth, movable riverbed simulations and vegetation dynamic models that can describe a ‘detailed riverbed materials’ transport’ influencing the vegetation dynamics and estimate the creation area of a gravel riverbed are required. As first steps we verified the hypothesis whether high-accuracy observation data using UAV and SfM improve the accuracy of water flow condition and movable riverbed simulation that can describe the riverbed materials’ transport in detail. In the results, High-precision river morphology using UAVs offers the ability to improve the movable riverbed simulation. And these progresses indicated possibilities of UAV and SfM to develop vegetation dynamics model considering the riverbed materials’ transport.
