TL;DR: The authors of as mentioned in this paper developed a comprehensive database of >37,000 river restoration projects across the United States, which are intended to enhance water quality, manage riparian zones, improve in-stream habitat, allow fish passage, and stabilize stream banks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose five criteria for measuring success of river restoration, with emphasis on an ecological perspective, and suggest standards of evaluation for each of the five criteria and provide examples of suitable indicators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Thresholds: The Key to Successful Environmental Management or an Important Concept with No Practical Application?
Peter M. Groffman,Jill S. Baron,Tamara Blett,Arthur J. Gold,Iris A. Goodman,Lance Gunderson,Barbara Levinson,Margaret A. Palmer,Hans W. Paerl,Garry D. Peterson,N. LeRoy Poff,David W. Rejeski,James F. Reynolds,Monica G. Turner,Kathleen C. Weathers,John A. Wiens +15 more
TL;DR: The scope of the thresholds concept in ecological science is defined and methods for identifying and investigating thresholds using a variety of examples from terrestrial and aquatic environments, at ecosystem, landscape and regional scales are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Theory and Community Restoration Ecology
TL;DR: Practical restoration efforts should rely heavily on what is known from theoretical and empirical research on how communities develop and are structured over time, and are identified specific areas that are in critical need of further research to advance the science of restoration ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Benthic Invertebrate Species in Freshwater Ecosystems: Zoobenthic species influence energy flows and nutrient cycling
TL;DR: Examples of how some species have a disproportionately large impact on food-web dynamics and how particular species provide essential ecosystem services are highlighted.
