Journal ArticleDOI

Melissa M. Foley,Jonathan A. Warrick,Andrew C. Ritchie,Andrew C. Ritchie,Andrew W. Stevens,Patrick B. Shafroth,Jeffrey J. Duda,Matthew M. Beirne,Rebecca Paradis,Guy Gelfenbaum,Randall E. McCoy,Erin S. Cubley +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the physical changes to the river delta and estuary habitats during dam removal were linked to responses in biological communities, which increased the amount of supratidal and intertidal habitat, but also reduced the influx of seawater into the pre-removal estuary complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using Vegetation Guilds to Predict Bird Habitat Characteristics in Riparian Areas
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that bird species richness, abundance, and diversity are related to the heterogeneity of vegetation structure and plant guilds along a perennial river in the southwestern U.S.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting Bird Guilds Using Vegetation Composition and Structure on a Wild and Scenic River in Arizona
Erin S. Cubley,Heather L. Bateman,Sidney B. Riddle,Christopher L. Holmquist-Johnson,David M. Merritt +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified vegetation composition and structure to predict bird guilds on Wild and Scenic portions of the Verde River, Arizona and found that riparian obligate and facultative breeding guilds were most common.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoration of Hydrochory Following Dam Removal on the Elwha River, Washington
Erin S. Cubley,Rebecca Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that the average number of hydrochorous seeds and species increased below Glines Canyon Dam to levels similar to or higher than that of the upstream reach; hydrochory levels in the downstream reach did not change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does large dam removal restore downstream riparian vegetation diversity? Testing predictions on the Elwha River, Washington, USA.
TL;DR: In this paper , the Elwha River dams were associated with lower downstream plant diversity and altered species composition across riparian landforms pre-dam removal, and whether dam removal has begun to restore downstream diversity and composition.
