Disentangling the complexity of socio-cultural values of temporary rivers

In the last decade, an awareness towards temporary rivers has increased globally in response to drying climates and growing human demand for water. However, social perceptions of have rarely been incorporated their science management. this study, we advance understanding socio-cultural values principally a European context. We used ecosystem services-based approach participatory deliberative exercise with 16 researchers managers. Our results point out two important aspects rivers. First, cultural services high usually represent interests less influential stakeholders related conflicts. And second, temporal geographical variability these types is key understand values. As example, low provision freshwater long non-flowing phase one reasons its value. The above future research needs that deserve more attention like study tradeoffs synergies interdisciplinary finally acknowledge need conduct case account variation include multiple views different stakeholder groups.
