Examples of floodplain

• These approaches could be used for an extension of this paper to analyse indirect uses of the floodplain resource.

• Several are intimately linked to growing hazards as pressure for new housing encroaches upon floodplains and old water meadows.

• In the floodplain forests the inundation phase is followed by a short dry season, when the rainfalls start late.

• The largest of these flows arrived onto the floodplain and were responsible for the concentration, burial and preservation of the dinosaur remains.

• Fisheries production is not adequately valued by agricultural landowners, since much of the floodplain fish production is used for subsistence consumption by the landless.

• With the exception of sulphur, the floodplain displayed the lowest concentrations of micronutrients (not shown).

• Our analysis shows that the advantages of a free-flowing river connected to its floodplain are not only biological, but also economic.

• Furthermore, impala are often observed near forest boundaries, which are notably absent near much of the floodplain.
