Résumé :
|
In this book, authors from the U.S. and Canada synthesize current knowledge about landscaperiver relationships, river research, and river management; compile large regional, spatially referenced, survey data sets on river network characteristics; explore and describe patterns and relationships across survey sites, reaches, and catchments; and develop management and decision tools. The book evaluates the potential for watershed management and instream restoration, and identifies knowledge gaps in order to direct future research in linking landscape features and instream physicochemical and biological conditions. Includes chapters on (1) GIS and statistical tools that best link landscape with stream conditions, (2) effects of natural landscape features on stream conditions (3) effects of human induced land cover on stream conditions, and (4) influences of spatial and temporal scales on the effects of the natural landscape and human-induced land cover on stream conditions.
