Evaluating the ecological state of restored streams in urban watersheds
Peter Levi, University of Wisconsin
Stream ecosystems in urban landscapes are often severely degraded due to channelization, flashy discharge, and high inputs of nutrients from the surrounding watershed. Restorations seek to improve the integrity of these ecosystems, often via channel and habitat re-naturalization. In this seminar, Dr. Levi will present the results of his teams effort to evaluate the effectiveness of stream restoration in six urban watersheds near Milwaukee WI.
