Abstract
Floodplains are dynamic ecosystems that provide a multitude of ecosystem services (ES), yet they have historically been managed primarily for a limited set of human benefits, often at the expense of biodiversity and multi-functionality. This review synthesises current knowledge in ES and the multi-functionality of floodplains. It further highlights the potential of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to restore and enhance floodplain multi-functionality and ES through ecologically sound and socially inclusive approaches. Focusing on non-monetary ES assessment tools, such as the RESI and IDES frameworks, the study synthesises lessons from three European case studies (Danube River Basin, River Nebel in Germany and…
