During the last 20 years, side channels of the Rhine have been reconnected to the main course. The objective of this thesis is to assess the efficiency of restoration and the recovery of the ecosystems functionality. The aquatic plant communities were used as indicators of changes. Many factors were monitored: plant communities, their biological characteristics, flux and bank of propagules, the chemistry of water, sediment and plants, hydro-geomorphology. This study was conducted in 9 restored sites and 3 reference sites. Three aquatic plant communities were identified: eutrophic, mesotrophic and rheophilic. The composition of these communities is first linked to physical conditions and second to trophic level, together with flux of propagu...
