Ecosystem services of natural floodplain segment - Lužnice River, Czech Republic
Original language description
The river Lužnice floodplain in south Bohemia with a preserved floodplain ecosystem and hydrological regime has been investigated for selected ecosystem services (ES): flood mitigation, biodiversity refuge, carbon sequestration, and production of commodities. Two contrasting scenarios at 5 km long studying floodplain segment were compared: near-nature state as it is (Scenario A) and virtually transformed floodplain (Scenario B). For the flood mitigation service, we used an output from hydraulic analysisof modelled flood events (model FAST 2D) showing the effective retention volume 2.3 mil m3 for A and 0.83 m3 for B. For monetary evaluation, we used the method of replacement cost of this retention volume. For biodiversity refuge, the value of biotopes(real for A and arbitrary for B) and their contribution to the floodplain area were analysed according to the Hessen method. Carbon sequestration was measured by eddy-covariance method. All ES for both scenarios were converted to monetary
