New Insights in Stream and Watershed Restoration: Linking Restoration Design, Habitat Conditions, and Ecological Outcomes II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 51583

Session Description:
Disturbances associated with urbanization, agriculture, and extraction industries are known to profoundly affect the distribution, abundance, and diversity of aquatic organisms (vegetation, macroinvertebrates, or fish). These disturbances affect habitat conditions in the aquatic environment, including geomorphology (channel form, sediment composition and mobility, substrate permeability), hydrology (flow regime, spatial patterns in flow characteristics), and water quality (temperature and dissolved oxygen), complicating efforts for ecosystem restoration.  Successful river and watershed restoration requires identification of the key habitat conditions limiting ecological response and the implementation of appropriate restoration designs.  This session welcomes presentations that link stream and watershed restoration design to habitat conditions and their ecological outcomes. We encourage studies that employ novel approaches to habitat assessment and ecological monitoring, and multi-stressor studies investigating factors driving changes in aquatic communities in degraded stream ecosystems.
