Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on Pathways to Resilient Salmon Ecosystems Evolutionary History, Habitat Disturbance Regimes, and Anthropogenic Changes: What Do These Mean for Resilience of Pacific Salmon Populations? (2009, background): “…their stated goals (Lichatowich 1999), and engineered habitats seldom have replaced the full range of conditions that have been lost (National Research Council 1996, Bisson et al. 1997) and rarely if ever have mitigated fully losses to fisheries (Hilborn and Winton 1993, Roni et al. 2002).”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “Although the rehabilitation of all degraded rivers or artificial waterways may be presumably unrealistic, a relatively simple instream habitat improvement which modified flow and bottom substrate or provided cover had long-term beneficial effects on fish communities (Swales, 1989; Roni et al., 2002;”
Do in-stream restoration structures enhance salmonid abundance? A meta-analysis (2010, background): “1, darker shaded bars).”
Local habitat restoration in streams: Constraints on the effectiveness of restoration for stream biota (2003, background): “The similarities and cross-benefits of these two fields are being increasingly recognized – for example, in the shift toward watershed, or whole catchment, restoration (Roni et al. 2002).”
Ecological Benefits of Reduced Hydrologic Connectivity in Intensively Developed Landscapes (2010, background): “In the US Pacific Northwest alone, millions of dollars are spent annually on both urban and rural stream restoration projects (Roni et al. 2002), and resource agencies spend more than $100 million annually on habitat restoration in the Sacramento-San Joaquin river system in California (Kondolf…”
Information needs for assessing critical habitat of freshwater fish (2006, background): “© 2006 NRC Canada The third definition emphasizes that discrete habitat features will only persist if the processes that generate those features are maintained in a broader landscape context (e.g., river flooding, riparian inputs, etc.; Barinaga 1996; Imhof et al. 1996; Roni et al. 2002).”
Predicting benefits of spawning-habitat rehabilitation to salmonid (Oncorhynchus spp.) fry production in a regulated California river (2004, background): “Yet there is much uncertainty as to how well projects mitigate degradation of spawning habitat or improve survival of developing embryos (Roni et al. 2002).”
Effect of a change in physical structure and cover on fish and fish habitat in freshwater ecosystems – a review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “However, frequent experimental design problems exist with these studies, with a lack of reference sites, seasonal coverage, and narrow temporal scope being some of the main problems (Roni et al. 2002).”
Juvenile Coho Salmon Growth and Survival across Stream Network Seasonal Habitats (2006, background): “This is recognized as a major opportunity for habitat restoration and salmon recovery in the region, though guidance is needed for prioritizing culvert removal and passage improvements given the sheer number of currently disconnected tributaries (Roni et al. 2002).”
Effects of an increase in large wood on abundance and survival of juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) in an Oregon coastal stream (2005, background): “However, few studies have quantified the changes in fish production resulting from freshwater restoration activities, and recent reviews have called for additional research (Smokorowski et al. 1998; Roni et al. 2002 ).”
Lost Watersheds: Barriers, Aquatic Habitat Connectivity, and Salmon Persistence in the Willamette and Lower Columbia River Basins (2006, background): “Barrier removal is a commonly recommended action to assist in restoring ESA-listed salmonids in the Pacific Northwest ( Roni et al. 2002 ).”
Assessing the Habitat Requirements of Stream Fishes: An Overview and Evaluation of Different Approaches (2003, background): “While this review highlights the need to identify the critical stream habitats necessary for the persistence of species, it is equally important to identify and protect the processes that ultimately generate and maintain these features (Imhoff et al. 1996; Roni et al. 2002).”
