Abstract
Riparian Wetland conservation and restoration in Europe increasingly rely on nature-based solutions, yet biodiversity monitoring of their implementation remains fragmented across scales, methods and policy frameworks. This paper synthesises current approaches in wetland monitoring and proposes an integrated, adaptive framework linking long-term, system-orientated observation with short- to medium-term, intervention-focused restoration monitoring. Combining site-based surveys with standardised, multi-scale assessments enables differentiation of natural variability from human pressures, detection of tipping points in species sensitivity to climate pressures and evaluation of restoration outcomes under EU…
