Final report
The output from the FLOBAR2 project is very varied, and the Final Report
consists of scientific papers published in, or about to be published in, the
mainstream research literature; other pieces of less formal output; higher
degree theses; and a document designed to disseminate the research to user
communities (river managers and environmental policy makers).
Published papers
These are listed on the main publications page

96 pages, 4.6MB PDFThis document summarizes many of the outcomes of the FLOBAR2 and previous projects. It is well illustrated with photographs and figures and explains how floodplain forests work, what the principle threats are to these ecosystems, ways of restoring them and the policy and institutional contexts within which their restoration might take place.
Hard copies of the document can be obtained from either Dr. Francine Hughes or Professor Keith Richards, Department of Geography, Downing Place, Cambridge, UK CB2 3EN at a cost of £10 sterling incl P&P; cheques payable to ‘The University of Cambridge’.
