Recent advances quantifying the large wood dynamics in river basins: New methods and remaining challenges
Large wood is an important physical component of woodland rivers and significantly
influences river morphology. It is also a key component of stream ecosystems. However …

Wood placement in river restoration: fact, fiction, and future direction
Despite decades of research on wood in rivers, the addition of wood as a river restoration
technique remains controversial. We reviewed the literature on natural and placed wood to …

From natural to degraded rivers and back again: a test of restoration ecology theory and practice
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 …

Does it make economic sense to restore rivers for their ecosystem services?
Temperate forests managed to maximize sustainable yield of wood products can reduce the
availability of dead wood on the forest floor and in adjacent streams, which in turn can impair …

Using Structure from Motion photogrammetry to assess large wood (LW) accumulations in the field
River systems in forested catchments are strongly influenced by wood and sediment loading
from both natural (eg mass wasting) and anthropogenic (forestry) sources. In order to …
