On the development of flow-ecology relationships for streams in coastal watersheds of southern California
… on aquatic ecosystems. This study develops flow-ecology relationships for wadeable streams in coastal watersheds of southern California to understand the ecological effects of urbanization and other sources of hydromodification. Streams in this region are predominately flashy, seasonally …

Ecologically-focused calibration of hydrological models for environmental flow applications
… ecosystem degradation. Developing environmental flow criteria for managing the effects of urbanization and other human influences requires quantitative flow-ecology relationships that link biological responses to streamflow alteration. To the extent possible, gaged flow data are used; however, …

Restoration and Water Management in the Atchafalaya River Basin, Louisiana
… values-focused management framework. Next, I use flow-ecology relationships to evaluate ecosystem service trade-offs and complementarities in the ARB to assess the potential impacts of water management decisions. Flow-ecology relationships were used to explore complementary and trade-off …

EFFECTS OF FLOW REGIME ON FISHES AND FISHERIES: FROM LIFE HISTORIES TO ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
Stream flow in freshwaters is considered a “master variable” influencing processes and traits from individual organisms to ecosystems. Due to this strong linkage, anthropogenic modification of flow regimes in freshwater ecosystems worldwide continues to have major impacts on populations, species, …

Providing a Restoration Framework for Regulated Rivers
… by generalizing patterns in habitat and ecology. Based on the prevailing scientific literature, restoring natural stream flows in disturbed rivers is dependent upon developing quantitative, transferable stream flow-ecology relationships. The purpose of my dissertation was to apply a …
