Sundermann, A., Stoll, S., & Haase, P. (2011). River restoration success depends on the species pool of the immediate surroundings. Ecological Applications, 21(6), 1962-1971. Summary: Researchers set out to understand the best methods for determining restoration success with regard to macroinvertebrates. Here, researchers discovered that the best method for predicting success is the recolonization potential of the area where surrounding communities provide the needed pool of species for the restored reach. Research Goals:
Habitat-specific desired species need to be found in surrounding communities. Species have different habitat requirements that must be met. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that species from low-order streams will colonize restored reaches in higher-order streams/rivers. Researchers estimated recolonization potential which takes into account the surrounding communities. Questions:
