Filling that void, this unique text covers both new and existing information following a stepwise approach on theory, planning, implementation, and evaluation methods for the restoration of stream habitats. Comprehensively illustrated with case studies from around the world, Stream and Watershed Restoration provides a systematic approach to restoration programs suitable for graduate and upper-level undergradAdvancing River Restoration and ManagementWatershed restorationStream restorationAquatic ecologyRestoration ecologyWatershed restoration.Stream restoration.Aquatic ecology.Restoration ecology.627/.5Roni Philip956249Beechie T.
