TL;DR: It is argued that riparian corridors should play an essential role in water and landscape planning, in the restoration of aquatic systems, and in catalyzing institutional and societal cooperation for these efforts.

TL;DR: The spatial structure of river networks regulates how stochastic watershed disturbances influence the morphology and ages of fluvial features found at confluences, and allows the development of testable predictions about how basin size, basin shape, drainage density, and network geometry interact to regulate the spatial distribution of physical diversity in channel and riparian attributes throughout a river basin.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of various restoration techniques at improving fish habitat is reviewed, and a hierarchical strategy for prioritizing them is developed, based on principles of watershed processes, protecting existing high-quality habitats, and current knowledge of the effectiveness of specific techniques.

TL;DR: Four process-based principles that ensure river restoration will be guided toward sustainable actions are outlined and illustrated to help avoid common pitfalls in river restoration, such as creating habitat types that are outside of a site's natural potential.

TL;DR: In this paper, flood frequency, productivity, and spatial heterogeneity were correlated with plant species richness (SR) among wetlands on a coastal island in southeast Alaska, and a nonlinear regression model relating SR to flood frequency and SVFF explained much of the variation in SR between wetland communities.
