Lessons learned from 20 y of monitoring suburban development with distributed stormwater management in Clarksburg, Maryland, USA

Kristina G. Hopkins et al.

Summary: Urban development exerts pressure on stream ecosystems, and tracking multiple indicators of stream health and considering past land use are crucial. Distributed stormwater management has more advantages compared to centralized stormwater management, but cannot completely mitigate the effects of all urban stressors on aquatic ecosystems.

Long-term assessment of floodplain reconnection as a stream restoration approach for managing nitrogen in ground and surface waters

Paul M. Mayer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the long-term effects of stream restoration on nitrogen management in an urban stream. The results showed that after restoration, there was a significant decrease in nitrate concentrations in both groundwater and surface water. However, the hydrologic flashiness index returned to pre-restoration levels after a certain period of time. The study also found that some engineered features were better at creating optimal conditions for nitrogen retention, but some features eroded and failed post restoration, reducing the effectiveness of stream restoration.

Phase II MS4 challenges: moving toward effective stormwater management for small municipalities

Leslie Rieck et al.

Summary: Federal regulations for MS4s in the US have been in place since 1990 to reduce sediment and pollutant loads in urban areas. Small-municipality MS4s often struggle with challenges such as compliance with regulations and lack of funding, creating barriers for effective stormwater management.

Qc threshold departs from theoretical Qc in urban watersheds: The role of streambed mobility data in managing the urban disturbance regime

Robert J. Hawley et al.

Summary: The threshold discharge (Q(c)) for streambed mobilization is important for stream ecosystems and has applications in aquatic ecosystem studies, stormwater management, and stream restoration design. However, field data is necessary to calibrate Q(c) estimates due to its considerable variability.

Optimizing stormwater management to facilitate urban stream restoration via a science-based approach

Matthew S. Wooten et al.

Summary: This paper documents the development and implementation of a science-based, community-driven approach to stormwater management by SD1, a stormwater utility in Northern Kentucky, USA. SD1 established a monitoring program to collect data for designing a locally calibrated stormwater management program. The program has facilitated partnerships and informed a watershed restoration program, with stakeholders collaborating to incorporate hydrologic restoration activities. SD1's approach could serve as a roadmap for other regional utilities and provide innovative funding sources for urban stream restoration.

Expanding catchment-scale hydrologic restoration in suburban watersheds via stream mitigation crediting-A Northern Kentucky (USA) case study

Robert J. Hawley

Summary: The need for hydrologic restoration in stream ecosystems is essential, but funding often falls short. Stormwater mitigation interventions can provide stream mitigation credits by directly improving flow class or indirectly enhancing habitat quality. These interventions can have a positive impact on stream networks and stakeholders compared to conventional habitat restoration alone.

Highlighting assumptions of community engagement in urban stream restoration

Denzell A. Cross et al.

Summary: Restoration practitioners often face difficulties in engaging community members in urban stream restoration projects due to incorrect assumptions about community responses. This can hinder the achievement of restoration goals. Therefore, it is crucial for researchers to understand the social, economic, and political dynamics of the target community before involving them in the restoration project.

Community-powered urban stream restoration: A vision for sustainable and resilient urban ecosystems

Mateo Scoggins et al.

Summary: Urban streams can provide benefits to city dwellers, but when they become degraded, those benefits are diminished and may even cause harm. To improve the values and services of urban streams, it is important to involve community members in project development and implementation, as their input can help align project objectives with community desires and needs, thus increasing the chances of success.

Including equity in urban stream restoration: From historical wrongs to new paradigms

Erika Diaz-Pascacio et al.

Summary: As the practice of stream restoration expands globally, including social factors and communities within the process becomes increasingly important. However, there are challenges in managing social processes and balancing different interests. Disparities associated with race, ethnicity, and income have been identified, and examining case studies helps identify historical trends and inequities in oppressed communities. Taking an equity and environmental justice perspective can address basic needs and achieve true justice in stream restoration.

Closing the gap on wicked urban stream restoration problems: A framework to integrate science and community values

Brian M. Murphy et al.

Summary: Restoring the health of urban streams is a wicked problem that requires negotiation and compromise among various stakeholders. An analysis of 11 restoration projects revealed gaps in project structures and limitations in stakeholder perspectives and knowledge types. Projects that integrated community values and diverse knowledge tended to achieve desired outcomes through incremental solutions. A conceptual framework that integrates diverse perspectives and knowledge can enhance the social and ecological outcomes of urban stream restoration.

Stream macroinvertebrate reintroductions: A cautionary approach for restored urban streams

Sandra M. Clinton et al.

Summary: Despite efforts to improve habitat conditions and increase species abundance and diversity in physically restored urban streams, macroinvertebrate assemblages often remain depauperate. To jump start the recovery process, researchers and practitioners have reintroduced macroinvertebrates in these streams, but without standardized guidelines, reintroduction programs may create additional problems. This paper provides best practices for macroinvertebrate reintroduction in restored urban streams, including criteria for determining appropriateness, setting clear goals, selecting donor sites, determining organism numbers, establishing reintroduction frequency and timing, and overcoming monitoring challenges.

Interactions between microplastics and benthic biofilms in fluvial ecosystems: Knowledge gaps and future trends

Helena Guasch et al.

Summary: Microplastics, small polymer particles, are persistent pollutants found in various environments. They interact with biofilms, microbial assemblages, in freshwater ecosystems, impacting biodiversity and ecosystem function. Exploring the interactions between microplastics and biofilms is essential for better management and understanding their effects on the environment.

Summary: The urgency of restoring ecosystems is attracting global attention, with the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030) as a call to action. While many forest restoration efforts have failed, the Political Ecology Playbook sets out ten principles for achieving long-lasting, resilient, and equitable ecosystem restoration.
