Stream ecosystem response to limestone treatment in acid impacted watersheds of the Allegheny Plateau

Restoration programs are expanding worldwide, but assessments of restoration effectiveness are rare. The objectives of our study were to assess current acid-precipitation remediation programs in streams of the Allegheny Plateau ecoregion of West Virginia (USA), identify specific attributes that coul...
