Stream restoration can be like open heart surgery to an ecosystem – intense, costly, yet potentially life-saving. Therefore, the proper selection of […]
This study assessed the trade-offs inherent in stream restorations using the Regenerative Stream Conveyance (RSC) or restored stream-wetland technique. Specifically, it quantifies the aquatic vertebrate community trajectories that should be expected from RSC restorations implemented in lowland Coastal Plain streams with nutrient-rich waters. We defined the reference conditions (minimally-disturbed) for Coastal Plain aquatic vertebrate communities […]
