Monitoring Stream and Watershed Restoration

Paperback  300 pp  ISBN 0851999077      £40.00

This book

• Addresses a topic of major importance in ecology and pollution studies
• Combines theory with practical examples
• Is of relevance to a wide range of geographical areas

This book provides a comprehensive, practical resource for developing monitoring and evaluation programmes for freshwater habitat restoration at various scales. Its unique emphasis is on how to monitor effects at habitat unit (site), reach and watershed scales. Numerous examples are given, particularly of restoration activities for coolwater biota and salmonid fishes. However, the principles discussed are relevant worldwide.

Readership: Ecology, fisheries, pollution studies, hydrology and geography
