Browning of freshwaters: Consequences to ecosystem services, underlying drivers, and potential mitigation measures
Browning of surface waters, as a result of increasing dissolved organic carbon and iron
concentrations, is a widespread phenomenon with implications to the structure and function …

The intervention continuum in restoration ecology: rethinking the active–passive dichotomy
The distinction often made between active and passive restoration approaches is a false
dichotomy that persists in much research, policy, and financial structures today. We explore …

Dam inundation simplifies the plant community composition
The construction of dams has caused riparian habitat degradation and ecosystem service
loss globally. It is critical to assess the response of riparian plant communities to inundation …

Facets and scales in river restoration: Nestedness and interdependence of hydrological, geomorphic, ecological, and biogeochemical processes
Although river restoration has increased rapidly, observations of successful ecological
recovery are rare, mostly due to a discrepancy in the spatial scale of the impact and the …

The convergence of species composition along the drawdown zone of the Three Gorges Dam Reservoir, China: implications for restoration
Many rivers across the globe are regulated by dams, resulting in a strong alteration of the
plant community composition of the drawdown zone. But, how these changes happen along …

Evaluating the process of ecological restoration
We developed a conceptual framework for evaluating the process of ecological restoration
and applied it to 10 examples of restoration projects in the northern hemisphere. We …
