▪ Abstract Local habitat and biological diversity of streams and rivers are strongly influenced
by landform and land use within the surrounding valley at multiple scales. However …

Understanding mechanisms to predict changes in plant and animal communities is a key
challenge in ecology. The need to transfer knowledge gained from single species to a more …

Bank erosion is integral to the functioning of river ecosystems. It is a geomorphic process
that promotes riparian vegetation succession and creates dynamic habitats crucial for …

The primary focus of many in‐stream restoration projects is to enhance habitat diversity for
salmonid fishes, yet the lack of properly designed monitoring studies, particularly ones with …

Climate change and human activities have together altered the river hydrological regime
and consequently threatened the health of river ecosystems. Quantifying the impact of …

Understanding the complex, non‐linear ways in which linked ecological and
geomorphological systems respond to disturbance is important to improving both theoretical …

Large wood is inherently mobile in naturally functioning river corridors, yet river
management commonly introduces wood that is anchored to limit hazards. Wood that is …

Landscape and site-scale data analyses aid the interpretation of biological data and thereby
help us develop more cost-effective natural resource management strategies. Our study …

Riparian forests regulate linkages between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet
relationships among riparian forest development, stand structure, and stream habitats are …

A field experiment was conducted to examine the influence of variable density (complexity)
of small patches of woody debris on the abundance and taxonomic richness of …
