| ecosystem ecology meets adaptive management: food web response to a controlled flood on the colorado river, glen canyon. | large dams have been constructed on rivers to meet human demands for water, electricity, navigation, and recreation. as a consequence, flow and temperature regimes have been altered, strongly affecting river food webs and ecosystem processes. experimental high-flow dam releases, i.e., controlled floods, have been implemented on the colorado river, u.s.a., in an effort to reestablish pulsed flood events, redistribute sediments, improve conditions for native fishes, and increase understanding of h ... | 2011 | 21939041 |
