Bridging engineering, ecological, and geomorphic science to enhance riverine restoration: Local and national efforts

The linkage between the practise of ecology restoration and the science of the restoration ecology is discussed. The restoration of running-water ecosystem was accomplished by a shift from a strict engineering, ecologist and geomorphologists. Ecologist provides critical input relative to the interplay between on-site ecological processes and the hydrologic and geomorphologic context in which these processes were grounded. A initiative- the National Riverine Restoration Science Synthesis (NRRSS)- that involves a large involves a large interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers working in partnership with the river conservation organization called as American Rivers.
