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

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
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 Conventional, Rake, and Sonar‐Based Biophysical Habitat Measurements in a Shallow Ontario River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of habitat availability is critically important for the management and recovery of freshwater species. Quantifying habitat availability often requires fine‐scale sampling at point‐based locations across a large geographic extent, which can be laboursome.

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

Temporal community change in stream ecosystems varies by assemblage across US climates

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem properties are temporally dynamic. Temporal variability has been shown to decrease with increasing levels of biological organization (i.e. from population to community and ecosystem levels).
