TL;DR: The authors examines how anthropogenic activity has caused significant changes in the quantity and quality of fine-grained sediment within river systems, using examples of: land use change in New Zealand; the effects of reservoir construction and management in different countries; the interaction between sediment dynamics and fish habitats in British Columbia, Canada; and the management of contaminated sediment in USA rivers.

TL;DR: In this article, an approach to conserve large woody debris (LWD) in channels by modifying infrastructure (culverts and bridges) to allow LWD passage, maintaining aquatic habitat and reducing flooding and road maintenance costs was proposed.

TL;DR: The assets and limitations of monitoring and analysis options available for dam removal studies are discussed, with emphasis on selecting a rigorous experimental design and determining significance of results.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate reach-scale restoration projects in the Tryon Creek watershed, and conduct habitat quality surveys pre-project and over 4 years post-project to evaluate benthic macroinvertebrates and find no significant changes in trait proportions and functional diversity.

TL;DR: Policy must address drivers, not just symptoms, of subsidence, according to research published in the Journal of Subsidence and Seismology.
