Barrier removal can be an efficient method to restore river continuity but resources available
for defragmenting rivers are limited and a prioritization strategy is needed. We review …

Decision‐makers in inland fisheries management must balance ecologically and socially
palatable objectives for ecosystem services within financial or physical constraints. Climate …

To support eco-friendly hydropower planning in developing regions, we propose a spatial
optimization model for locating dams to balance tradeoffs between hydropower generation …

Fragmentation of river systems is a key driver of freshwater biodiversity loss. Instream
structure inventories are an essential component of delivering a strategic approach to …

Societies around the world face difficult choices in allocating fresh water between human
uses and environmental flows for freshwater ecosystems. In many regions, policy makers …

Modeling fish community responses to dam removal is an emerging field of study as dam
removals become more common, but uncertainties concerning recovery time and community …

Fragmentation caused by artificial barriers is one of the main stressors of rivers worldwide.
However, many barrier inventories only record large barriers, which underestimates barrier …

Anthropogenic structures extensively fragment riverine systems, reducing longitudinal
connectivity, inhibiting migration and leading to severe declines in many fish populations …

Forests are often crisscrossed by a vast road network due to extractive activity. Previous
studies have shown that this network can include many abandoned logging roads and …

Vast interracial differences in wealth are well-known. We investigate a previously
unexplored source of such differences—removal of obsolete dams—thereby opening a new …
