ABSTRACT Ditches are essential elements of the agricultural landscape because of their role as habitat or refuge for aquatic species, especially in homogenized and intensively cultivated areas. However, data on the biodiversity associated with agricultural ditches, and its variation over time, are underrepresented in ecological research.

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams
ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers
ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River
ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

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 ...
