Effects of thinning on forest structure and composition in the Wungong catchment, Western Australia
, 2012 The focus of jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata Donn ex. Smith) forest management in past decades has been changing in response to forest management practices of the day, interests and needs of the forest users and more recently a changing climate.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Invasive species can fundamentally alter their introduced habitats by changing natural processes and harming native species crucial to functional ecosystems and human needs. Although the number of potential invasive species is large, the suitability of novel locations to support population establishment is limited by both physical and ...

Geomorphic Effects and Habitat Impacts of Large Wood at Restoration Sites in New England
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large wood (used interchangeably with the term “instream wood”), which refers to trees, logs and other wood within a channel, is beneficial to river ecosystems and is being used more frequently as a component of river restoration projects. We identified metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of large wood to promote ecological and geomorphic ...

Infiltration and Hydrophobicity in Burnt Forest Soils on Mediterranean Mountains
Forest fires are a major global environmental problem, especially for forest ecosystems and specifically in Mediterranean climate zones. These fires can seriously impact hydrologic processes and soil erosion, which can cause water pollution and flooding.

Using Trail Cameras to Monitor Culvert Connectivity in Wadeable Streams
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Anthropogenic barriers in aquatic habitats have led to fragmentation and decreased fish diversity worldwide. Road crossing barriers such as culverts are a significant source of fragmentation and can impede aquatic organism passage (AOP). Many large extent efforts to inventory road crossing barriers and prioritize restoration efforts do not ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydropower management has altered discharge regimes of large rivers worldwide, reducing sediment mobilization and early‐seral conditions essential for many riverine species. Spiny softshell turtles (Apalone spinifera) rely on alluvial habitats for nesting and may serve as sentinel species to assess the effects of regulated flow regimes and ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Empirical evidence of population demographic responses to environmental perturbations is a major knowledge gap for aquatic vertebrate populations. Extensive habitat alteration including channelization of headwater streams influences the habitat template on which small‐bodied fish are dependent to carry out distinct life stages and maintain or ...
