Fine sediment influence on salmonid spawning habitat in a lowland agricultural stream: a preliminary assessment.
TLDR
It appears that the main cause of high influx is sediment loads mobilized from intensively managed land, and fundamental changes to the management of agricultural land is required if fish habitats are to be improved and degraded streams are allowed to re-naturalize.About:

The impacts of fine sediment on riverine fish
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the causal mechanisms that underpin the observed negative response exhibited by fish populations to enhanced fine sediment loads, and the variability across different fish species across different families.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of fine sediment accumulation on the survival of incubating salmon progeny: Implications for sediment management
TL;DR: It is concluded that current granular measures of spawning and incubation habitat quality do not satisfactorily describe the complexity of factors influencing incubation success and casts doubt over the ability of current catchment-based land use management strategies to adequately reduce fine sediment inputs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physicochemical stream bed characteristics and recruitment of the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera)
TL;DR: Together measurements of penetration resistance, depth gradients of Eh and texture were most suitable for assessing stream bed quality, while water chemistry was insufficient because of the decoupling of interstitial and free-flowing water at poor quality sites.

‘Natural’ rivers, ‘hydromorphological quality’ and river restoration: a challenging new agenda for applied fluvial geomorphology
Malcolm Newson,Andrew R.G. Large +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the problematic definition of natural hydromorphological quality for rivers, the assessment of departures from it, and the ecologically driven strategies for restoration that must be delivered by regulators under the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological indicators for stream restoration success
Joachim Pander,Juergen Geist +1 more
TL;DR: The Proceeding Chain of Restoration (PCoR) as discussed by the authors can provide a step-by-step guide for restoration ecologists, comprising all planning steps from the determination of the conservation objectives to the use of ecological indicators in post-restoration monitoring.

The ecological significance of exchange processes between rivers and groundwater
Matthias Brunke,Tom Gonser +1 more
TL;DR: The hyporheic corridor concept emphasizes connectivity and interactions between subterranean and surface flow on an ecosystem level for floodplain rivers as mentioned in this paper, which is a complementary concept to others which focus on surficial processes in the lateral and longitudinal dimensions.

Importance of surface-subsurface exchange in stream ecosystems: The hyporheic zone
TL;DR: In this paper, an organizational scheme for grouping stream systems into clusters of minimal, moderate, and maximal contribution of hyporheic metabolism to the overall ecosystem is proposed, which is based on the concept of hydrologically linked sediments.
The ecological significance of exchange processes between rivers and groundwater
T Thias B Runke,Summar Y +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the connectivity between river and groundwater ecosystems, viewing them as linked components of a hydrological continuum, and evaluate ecological processes that maintain the integrity of both systems and those that are mediated by their ecotones.
