The Natural Flow Regime

N. LeRoy Poff, +8 more
- 01 Dec 1997 - 
TL;DR: In this article, Naiman et al. pointed out that harnessing of streams and rivers comes at great cost: Many rivers no longer support socially valued native species or sustain healthy ecosystems that provide important goods and services.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological responses to altered flow regimes: a literature review to inform the science and management of environmental flows

N. LeRoy Poff, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
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

Landscape filters and species traits: Towards mechanistic understanding and prediction in stream ecology

N. LeRoy Poff
- 01 Jun 1997 - 
TL;DR: Multi-scale, mechanistic understanding of species-environment relations will likely contribute to better predictions about large scale problems, such as the establishment and spread of exotic species or alterations in community composition with changing land use or climate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptation to natural flow regimes

David A. Lytle, +1 more
- 01 Feb 2004 - 
TL;DR: Here, three modes of adaptation are identified that plants and animals use to survive floods and/or droughts and the rate of evolution in response to flow regime alteration remains an open question.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ecological limits of hydrologic alteration (ELOHA): a new framework for developing regional environmental flow standards

N. LeRoy Poff, +18 more
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: The ecological limits of hydrologic alteration (ELOHA) as mentioned in this paper is a framework for assessing environmental flow needs for many streams and rivers simultaneously to foster development and implementation of environmental flow standards at the regional scale.
