This study synthesises expert knowledge from 45 European countries to identify key research priorities for the restoration and protection of free-flowing rivers. It examines ecological, hydromorphological, governance and socio-economic dimensions, highlighting critical knowledge gaps and interdisciplinary research needs. The findings provide a scientific framework to support evidence-based river restoration and contribute to the EU target of restoring at least 25,000 km of free-flowing rivers by 2030.

This study investigates how hydro-morphological diversity associated with riverine islands shapes fish assemblages in the Middle Danube. By comparing main-channel and side-channel habitats, the researchers demonstrate that differences in flow velocity, substrate composition and vegetation strongly influence both taxonomic and functional fish diversity. The findings identify island–side-channel complexes as important biodiversity amplifiers and highlight their protection and restoration as a key component of process-based river restoration in regulated large rivers.
