Dam Removal: Challenges and Opportunities for Ecological Research and River Restoration

The authors develop a risk assessment framework for understanding how potential responses to dam removal vary with dam and watershed characteristics, which can lead to more effective use of this restoration method. The growing number of scientific studies provides an important opportunity to learn h...

Zusammenfassung:The authors develop a risk assessment framework for understanding how potential responses to dam removal vary with dam and watershed characteristics, which can lead to more effective use of this restoration method. The growing number of scientific studies provides an important opportunity to learn how better to manage watersheds and improve understanding of the science of river restoration.
