A Special Section on Dam Removal and River Restoration (2002, background): “Pizzuto (2002) examines the challenges involved in predicting the effects of dam removal on sediment transport and channel evolution; he also suggests a range of studies (including collaborations between geomorphologists, engineers, and ecologists) that could lead to improved forecasting.”
The River Discontinuum: Applying Beaver Modifications to Baseline Conditions for Restoration of Forested Headwaters (2010, background): “These discontinuities have been largely removed from rivers in the United States through recent human activities such as bedrock blasting, debris-dam removal, other channel homogenization for log drives, placer mining, logging of forests that once supplied major debris dams, beaver trapping, and flo”
Effects of removal of a small dam on downstream macroinvertebrate and algal assemblages in a Pennsylvania stream (2005, background): “The remaining structure limited erosion of the upstream sediments and controlled the elevation of the streambed upstream from the dam (Egan 2001, Pizzuto 2002).”
