“…Extreme hydrological events, such as water scarcity and flooding, can modify the effects of other stressors, which could result in the significant changes in functioning of the ecosystem (Klok and Kraak, 2008;Navarro-Ortega et al, 2015). The year 2014 was quite unusual considering extremely high amount of rainfall which strongly affected the hydrology in terms of water discharge of the Sava River and its tributaries, resulting in extensive floods throughout the Sava River Basin.…”

“…Moreover, different authors have suggested that synergic interactive effects of hydrology and water temperature exist in lowland rivers (Nunn et al ., ), Alpine streams (Bruno et al ., ) and regulated rivers (Rolls et al ., ), which impact fish and benthic invertebrate communities. Confounding of factors was recognized as important in the determination of different aspects of floodplain functioning (Russell and Harris, ; Birken and Cooper, ; Klok and Kraak, ; Schindler et al ., ).…”

This paper presents a methodological approach that can aid the assessment of variation in limnological variables in response to hydrological phases and seasonal temperature variation. The investigation was conducted in the Danube River floodplain, Kopački Rit, Croatia. The proposed approach facilitates a more accurate examination of the effects of first factor, while maintaining second factor less variable, and vice versa. Samples were collected in the floodplain channel and lake along a temporal connectivity gradient, and were grouped according to three hydrological phases (isolation, flow pulse and flood pulse) and according to three seasons (spring, summer and autumn). A permutational multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyse the hydrological effects within seasons, as well as seasonal effects within hydrological phases on selected limnological variables: pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, nitrites, nitrates, ammonium, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total phosphorus, chlorophyll a concentrations and ratio of copiotrophic to oligotrophic bacteria. A multivariate data cloud was structured by hydrological phases during all investigated seasons, but not by all seasons during different hydrological phases. The strongest impact of hydrological phases on limnological variables occurred during summer. Seasonal effects were significant during the isolation and the flood pulse phases. The flow pulse phase somehow obscured the effects of seasonal change, resulting in temporal floodplain homogenization. One possible explanation is that water temperature determines potential limnological conditions, whereas hydrology determines actual conditions. Such results must be taken into account if the accurate effects of hydrology and seasonal change are to be assessed in temperate floodplain ecosystems. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Thus, matter deposited on floodplains provides a potential to contaminate affected sites, especially given the intensified erosion during extreme floods (Weber et al 2008). Typical contaminants at the river Rhine are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as well as hexachlorobenzene (HCB; Heise and Förstner 2006;Klok and Kraak 2008;Weber et al 2008;Wölz et al 2010b).…”
