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
Rapid water quality change in the Elwha River estuary complex during dam removal

TL;DR: The removal of the 32 m Elwha and 64 m Glines Canyon dams in Washington, U.S.A., was the largest dam removal project in North American history as mentioned in this paper, and during the 3 yr of removal, more than ten million cubic meters of sediment was eroded from the former reservoirs, transported downstream and deposited throughout the lower river, river delta, and nearshore waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifting food web structure during dam removal-Disturbance and recovery during a major restoration action.

TL;DR: It was found that sediment impacts from dam removal significantly reduced invertebrate prey availability, but juvenile salmon adjusted their foraging so that the amount of energy in diets was similar before and during dam removal.
Ecological parameters in the Elwha River estuary before and during dam removal
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented riparian plant species richness (number of unique taxa) data from plots sampled in the Elwha River estuary, Washington, in 2007 and 2014.
