Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent listing of Pacific salmon under the Endangered Species Act has led to substantial interest in the scientific basis for river restoration in the Pacific Northwest. Millions of dollars in state and federal funding have been programmed for habitat restoration efforts to stem the decline of salmon populations in the region. This volume addresses the need for a solid understanding of fluvial processes and aquatic ecology in order to predict both river and salmonid response to restoration projects. In the Pacific Northwest, as in most regions of the United States, we are still learning about the processes that create habitat and river structure, how those processes influence aquatic ecosystems, and how to gauge the response of river systems to both land-use changes and restoration efforts. River systems are still responding to historic changes, and degraded habitat may not be restored successfully if natural conditions are not well understood, particularly if massive changes in watershed hydrology or other processes are the root cause. These issues faced in the development of regional river restoration programs are by no means unique to the Northwest, and so the initiation of a regional program of river restoration provides an opportunity to evaluate the state of river restoration in general. The eighteen chapters of Restoration of Puget Sound Rivers--presented by the region’s experts at a symposium of the Society for Ecological Restoration--examine geological and geomorphological controls on river and stream characteristics and dynamics, biological aspects of river systems in the region, and the application of fluvial geomorphology, civil engineering, riparian ecology, and aquatic ecology in efforts to restore Puget Sound Rivers. This volume will be of interest to geomorphologists, aquatic biologists, civil engineers, planners, and all those interested in the interface of science and policy in addressing one of the fundamental environmental challenges of the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Puget Sound Basin, Washington State, USA, is experiencing rapid population and urban growth in recent decades. The rapid population growth and urbanization has measurable effects on local ecosystems and natural resources, especially streams that are the vital spawning and rearing habitat for various species of salmons. Sustainable management practices and watersensitive urban design strategies, such as Green Stormwater Infrastructures (GSI), are being implemented to reduce the deleterious effects of stormwater and to protect the ecosystem. Among various types of GSI, bioretention systems are most widely adopted as they mimic the pre-development hydrologic conditions and can be used in diverse climatic and field conditions with minor design modifications. My thesis research focuses on developing a method for systematic, optimal placement of bioretention systems. The effectiveness of any GSI depends on its location. For optimal placement of the bioretention systems, I identified hydrologically sensitive areas to inform the decision making, specifically in the study area of the lower Puyallup River watershed. A Hydrologic Sensitivity Index [lambda]HSI approach was adapted, which indicates the likelihood of a location in a landscape to generate runoff, in combination with federal and state guidelines, was used to develop a GIS-based framework that identifies suitable locations for bioretention systems. The suitability of the identified sites was verified through ground-truthing. Major conclusions: (i) the Hydrological Sensitivity Index approach is straightforward and relatively easy to implement in a GIS. The framework described in this study can be readily applied to watersheds for which spatial data (topography, soil, land cover and land use) are available; (ii) the findings and results have direct relevance to the study watershed; the locations most suitable for bioretention systems are the central and northern parts of the watershed because the contributing drainage areas increase towards downstream and the potential for flooding is high; and (iii) when resources (monetary and land space) are limited, I recommend choosing locations falling in the high-[lambda]HSI category since these locations contribute more to runoff generation and urban flooding. Bioretention systems, being the largest among the intermediatescale GSI's, should be best suited to mitigate large runoff.

Download or read book Wetland Ecosystems written by William J. Mitsch and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New focused text introduces readers to wetland ecosystems and systems approaches to studying wetlands With its comprehensive coverage of wetland science, management, and restoration, Mitsch and Gosselink's Wetlands has been the premier reference on wetlands for more than two decades. Now, the coverage of specific wetland ecosystem types from earlier editions of this acclaimed work has been updated, revised, and supplemented with additional content in order to create this new text focusing exclusively on wetland ecosystems. This book now complements Wetlands, Fourth Edition. Following an introduction to ecosystems in general and wetland ecosystems in particular, Wetland Ecosystems examines the major types of wetlands found throughout the world: coastal wetlands, freshwater marshes and forested swamps, and peatlands. The final chapter reviews three fundamental systems approaches to studying wetlands: mesocosms, full-scale experimental ecosystems, and mathematical modeling. This new text features: Updated descriptions of the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and biology of the main types of wetlands found in the world New content introducing general ecosystems, wetland ecosystems, whole ecosystem and mesocosm experiments with wetlands, and systems ecology and modeling A detailed description of the ecosystem services provided by wetlands A broad international scope, including many examples of wetlands located outside North America Two new coauthors offering new perspectives and additional insights into the latest ecosystem and modeling techniques An abundance of illustrations helps readers understand how different biological communities and the abiotic environment in wetland ecosystems interact and function. Tables and text boxes provide at-a-glance summaries of key information. Lastly, each chapter concludes with a list of recommended readings. This text has been designed as an introduction for students and professionals in wetland ecology and management, general ecology, environmental science, and natural resource management.
