Restoration

  • Reestablishment of the structure and function
  • f an ecosystem, including its natural diversity
  • “…plunges, backwaters, large woody debris and streamside

vegetation, cobble, gravel, even sand and silt, shear lines, depth, pockets, undercuts, and an optimal relationship between this diversity and year-long trophic and habitat requirements (Griffith 1993).”
