Abstract In Europe and North America the prevailing model of “natural” lowland streams is
incised-meandering channels with silt-clay floodplains, and this is the typical template for …

Contemporary management practices have artificially confined (strangled) river systems in
Aotearoa New Zealand to support intensified land use in riparian areas. These practices …

Despite decades of research on wood in rivers, the addition of wood as a river restoration
technique remains controversial. We reviewed the literature on natural and placed wood to …

River systems are increasingly under stress and pressure from agriculture and urbanization
in riparian zones, resulting in frequent engineering interventions such as bank stabilization …

This chapter describes approaches to the management of habitat, people and fish stocks
that make up freshwater fisheries. Habitat management is advisable whenever habitat …

Trees fall naturally into rivers generating flow heterogeneity, inducing geomorphological
features, and creating habitats for biota. Wood is increasingly used in restoration projects …

Extensive habitat destruction and pollution have caused dramatic declines in aquatic
biodiversity at local to global scales. In rivers, the reintroduction of large woody debris is a …

This paper is a comprehensive and updated overview of river restoration and covers all
relevant aspects from drivers of restoration, linkages between hydromorphology and biota …

The philosophy of 'working with nature'and 'working with the river'is increasingly embedded
in global management practice. However, what does this mean? Has real progress been …

Stream restoration approaches most often quantify habitat degradation, and therefore
recovery objectives, on aquatic habitat metrics based on a narrow range of species needs …
