Abstract
This research focuses on the effects of climate change on water levels fluctuations and, as a result, on wetlands. The majority of climate models predict that climate change will primarily impact extreme events, leading to an increase in the frequency and intensity of both droughts and floods, and so to higher peak flows and deeper low flows. The study aims at investigating how this anticipated impact will affect the well-being of wetland ecosystems over different scenarios. Wetlands are globally recognized as ecosystems that serve vital ecological functions and hold significance as cultural and natural heritage sites. The specific wetland under examination is situated along the Flemish Sigma Plan, within the Kalkense Meersen Cluster, in Belgium.
The Sigma Plan is a network of flood control areas established along the Scheldt River since 1976
