TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between three land uses (indigenous vegetation, urbanisation, and agriculture) and indicators of stream ecological integrity was investigated using Boosted Regression Tree Modeling (BRT).

TL;DR: The strength of regression models and the nature of the response curves suggest that measures of ecosystem function exhibit predictable relationships with land use, and provides a strong argument for the inclusion of functional indicators in a holistic assessment of stream health.

TL;DR: In this paper, a process-based invertebrate drift and drift-feeding net rate of energy intake (NREI) model and a traditional hydraulic-habitat model were compared for predicting the flow requirements of 52-cm Brown Trout Salmo trutta in a New Zealand river.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of sediment resuspension at five salmon farms with contrasting flow regimes to evaluate the role of modelled ressuspension dynamics in determining impacts, and showed that the association between current flow, sediment resusension and ecological impacts is more complex than presently encapsulated within DEPOMOD.
