Short summary
Floodplain vegetation response to flooding and drying represents one of the few quantitative studies that have used adaptive cycles. This paper examines the response of vegetation productivity (measured as NDVI) through a hypothesized adaptive cycle to determine whether the cycle repeats over time and how it is affected by differently sized flood events. Thus, it represents a significant contribution to our knowledge of floodplain vegetation response to multiple flooding and drying sequences.
