- Abstract
Discusses how dam removal can cause changes to aspects of the environment that influence the establishment and growth of riparian vegetation. Case studies of Elwha River in Washington and the removal of small dams in Wisconsin; Effects of downstream sediment pulse and naturalized downstream flow regime; Topics of vegetation within the reservoir pool, restoration potential after dam removal, and management for a beneficial transient sediment pulse; Issues of reservoir drawdown, invasive species, and active revegetation.
