How riparian and floodplain restoration modify the effects of increasing temperature on adult salmon spawner abundance in the Chehalis River, WA [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Stream temperatures in the Pacific Northwest are projected to increase with climate change, placing additional stress on cold-water salmonids. We modeled the potential impact of increased stream temperatures on four anadromous salmonid populations in the

Deep carbon storage potential of buried floodplain soils [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Soils account for the largest terrestrial pool of carbon and have the potential for even greater quantities of carbon sequestration. Typical soil carbon (C) stocks used in global carbon models only account for the upper 1 meter of soil.

More Than Dirt: Soil Health Needs to Be Emphasized in Stream and Floodplain Restorations
Soil Systems, 2023 Soil health is not explicitly included in current stream and floodplain restorations. This may be one of the many reasons that stream restorations are not achieving their full restoration and ecological benefits.
