Habitat loss and degradation, and their interaction with other threats, are driving declines in
animal populations worldwide. One potential approach for mitigating these threats is to …

River damming has brought great benefits to flood mitigation, energy and food production,
and will continue to play a significant role in global energy supply, particularly in Asia, Africa …

The dynamic component in hydrology, sedimentology, and, consequently, river morphology
serves as a backbone for the entire river environment (Maddock 1999). In addition to water …

Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. and brown trout Salmo trutta fario L. are species of high socio‐
economic and ecological value. Declining populations make them target species of fisheries …

Climate change threatens freshwater fish species due to predicted changes in thermal,
sedimentary and hydrological properties of stream ecosystems. Gravel-spawning fish are …

Atlantic salmon is often a focal species of restoration efforts throughout the north Atlantic and
it is therefore an excellent case study for how best to design programmes to address and …

Gravel bed spawning grounds are essential for the reproduction of salmonids. Such
spawning grounds have been severely degraded in many rivers of the world because of …

Water temperatures control life histories and diversity of aquatic species. Hydropower
regulation, particularly in high head systems, alters natural water temperature regimes …

The management of rivers and floodplains is subject to multiple legal frameworks. For this
reason, methods that allow a comparison of different management options are needed …

Stream substratum plays a key role for many riverine species and has become a focus topic
in the context of structural habitat improvements. There is a lack of studies that compare the …
