Ecological Characteristics of Stream Reaches With and Without Low‐Tech Process‐Based Restoration in a Wildfire‐Affected Catchment

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1022-1037, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Low‐tech process‐based stream restoration (LTPBR) is increasingly implemented following wildfire, underscoring the need to evaluate restoration outcomes in burned catchments. To help address this need, we measured abiotic and biotic characteristics of a reach that received LTPBR, an untreated reach, and a reach with relict beaver activity that

Comparison of riparian willows and riprap as habitat for fish and invertebrates in the Waikato River

, 2011
Willows (Salix spp.) are an abundant alien tree and have been the mainstay of river bank protection throughout New Zealand. Riprap is another method of bank stabilisation consisting of rocks used to amour shorelines to protect against erosion. There is a

Significant Coastal Dune Loss Challenges California's Climate Resilience and Biodiversity Goals

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Coastal sand dunes support unique biodiversity and buffer beaches and communities against storm impacts. However, these sensitive and dynamic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by erosion, sea‐level rise (SLR), and encroaching coastal development.

An analysis of the spatial and temporal changes in the Riparian zone of the Berg River in the vicinity of Hermon: implications for governance

, 2013
Riparian zones broadly refer to the interface between terrestrial and aquatic systems. It is widely acknowledged that riparian zones provide a number of services including that of an ecological corridor for migration of animal species; a habitat; food ...

Rewilding beyond the wilderness: Beavers can restore stream biodiversity from urban to agricultural to natural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our findings show that beaver‐engineering significantly enhances local biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, even at sites with high land‐use intensity. Hence, beavers can effectively restore stream biodiversity across a range of urban to agricultural to natural ecosystems.

Reducing non-target damage to native emergent plants when managing aquatic weeds

Urban wetland restoration requires planting native species that are consistent with the existing regional ecosystem. These young wetlands are particularly prone to weed invasion due to ongoing urban disturbances, implying herbicides may be used for ...

Improving Living Resource Responses in Ecosystem Restoration: An Illustration Using the Chesapeake Bay

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Two key components of large‐scale ecosystem restoration planning are: (1) prioritizing individual projects based on how living resources respond, and (2) selecting and analyzing indicators of living resources to assess restoration progress and performance.

Applying Water Quality Trading Experience to Colorado Senate Bill 24–037

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Colorado Senate Bill 24–037 (SB24‐037) directs the University of Colorado and Colorado State University, with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), to evaluate the feasibility of alternative compliance programs using green infrastructure (GI) and to establish up to three pilot projects.
