Analyzing the Subsurface Consequences of Dam Removal on Groundwater Storage and Hydrologic Niches in a Mountain Meadow Ecosystem

This published journal article by Eyster et al. in 2023 presents a groundwater model developed for Van Norden meadow to assess the impact of dam removal on groundwater elevations in the meadow.

The Role of Stochasticity and Priority Effects in Floodplain Restoration

This paper is a test of two widely held assumptions in the practice of riparian restoration: (1) if physical processes are restored, plant communities will naturally reassemble themselves, and (2) restored communities will resemble reference sites.

Patterns In The Use Of A Restored California Floodplain By Native And Alien Fishes

Fishes were sampled on the restored floodplain of the Cosumnes River in Central California in order to determine patterns of floodplain use.

A programmable information system for management and analysis of aquatic species range data in California

The decline of species worldwide is both alarming and difficult to document due to a lack of reliable information on the geospatial extent and corresponding status of a given taxon. Freshwater habitats are disproportionately degraded globally with resultant declines in populations in freshwater fishes and subsequent retractions in biogeographic ranges. Conservation challenges in freshwater are compounded because aquatic taxa are inherently difficult to map. We addressed this problem for California freshwater fishes by developing the software and underlying database.

Flood regime typology for floodplain ecosystem management as applied to the unregulated Cosumnes River of California, United States

This research identifies a flood regime typology and approach for flood regime characterization, using unsupervised cluster analysis of flood events defined by ecologically meaningful metrics, including magnitude, timing, duration, and rate of change as applied to the unregulated lowland alluvial Cosumnes River of California, United States.

Not all breaks are equal: Variable hydrologic and geomorphic responses to intentional levee breaches along the lower Cosumnes River, California

The transport of water and sediment from rivers to adjacent floodplains helps generate complex floodplain, wetland, and riparian ecosystems.
