Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological responses to altered flow regimes: a literature review to inform the science and management of environmental flows
TL;DR: In an effort to develop quantitative relationships between various kinds of flow alteration and ecological responses, this paper reviewed 165 papers published over the last four decades, with a focus on more recent papers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifunctional Agriculture in the United States
George Boody,Bruce Vondracek,David A. Andow,Mara Krinke,John V. Westra,Julie K. H. Zimmerman,Patrick Welle +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated possible changes to current farming practices in two Minnesota watersheds to provide insight into how farm policy might affect environmental, social, and economic outcomes, and found that environmental and economic benefits can be attained through changes in agricultural land management without increasing public costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Squeezing the most out of existing literature: a systematic re‐analysis of published evidence on ecological responses to altered flows
J. Angus Webb,Kimberly A. Miller,Elise King,Siobhan C. de Little,Michael J. Stewardson,Julie K. H. Zimmerman,N. LeRoy Poff +6 more
TL;DR: Eco Evidence as mentioned in this paper provides a rule set and a standardised list of terms to assist reviewers to interpret consistently the results of disparate studies to reach transparent and repeatable conclusions regarding cause-effect hypotheses of ecological responses to environmental drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining the effects of dams on subdaily variation in river flows at a whole‐basin scale
Julie K. H. Zimmerman,Benjamin H. Letcher,Keith H. Nislow,Kimberly A. Lutz,Francis J. Magilligan +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an approach to quantify subdaily flow variation for multiple sites across a large watershed to assess the potential impacts of different dam operations (flood control, run-of-river hydropower and peaking hydroelectric plants) on natural communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A functional flows approach to selecting ecologically relevant flow metrics for environmental flow applications
S. M. Yarnell,Eric D. Stein,J. Angus Webb,Theodore E. Grantham,Robert A. Lusardi,Julie K. H. Zimmerman,Ryan A. Peek,B. A. A. Lane,Jeanette K. Howard,Samuel Sandoval-Solis +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a functional flow approach, focusing on elements of the natural flow regime known to sustain important ecosystem processes, which offers a pathway for linking understanding of ecosystem processes with discrete, quantifiable measures of the flow regime for a broad range of native taxa and assemblages.
