The degradation of inland aquatic habitats caused by decades of human activities has led to
worldwide efforts to rehabilitate freshwater habitats for fisheries and aquatic resources. We …

Two decades since calls for stream restoration projects to be scientifically assessed, most
projects are still unevaluated, and conducted evaluations yield ambiguous results. Even …

Stream Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters is designed to serve as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference source for …

Stream ecosystems are increasingly impacted by multiple stressors that lead to a loss of
sensitive species and an overall reduction in diversity. A dominant paradigm in ecological …

Extensive degradation of ecosystems, combined with the increasing demands placed on the
goods and services they provide, is a major driver of biodiversity loss on a global scale. In …

Agricultural land uses can impact stream ecosystems by reducing suitable habitat, altering
flows, and increasing inputs of diffuse pollutants including fine inorganic sediment (< 2 mm) …

The assumption that restoring physical habitat heterogeneity will increase biodiversity
underlies many river restoration projects, despite few tests of the hypothesis. With over 6,000 …

What defines success and failure of river restoration measures is a strongly debated topic in
restoration science, but standardized approaches to evaluate either are still not available …

Hydromorphological river restoration usually leads to habitat diversification, but the effects
on benthic invertebrates, which are frequently used to assess river ecological status, are …

Extensive habitat destruction and pollution have caused dramatic declines in aquatic
biodiversity at local to global scales. In rivers, the reintroduction of large woody debris is a …
