    Evaluating expected outcomes of acid remediation in an intensively mined Appalachian watershed

    Assessments of watershed-based restoration efforts are rare but are essential for the science of stream restoration to advance. We conducted a watershed scale assessment of Abram Creek before and after impleme...

    More than a corridor: use of a main stem stream as supplemental foraging habitat by a brook trout metapopulation

    Coldwater fishes in streams, such as brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), typically are headwater specialists that occasionally expand distributions downstream to larger water bodies. It is unclear, however, whet...

    River mainstem thermal regimes influence population structuring within an appalachian brook trout population

    Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) often exist as highly differentiated populations, even at small spatial scales, due either to natural or anthropogenic sources of isolation and low rates of dispersal. In this ...

    The temperature–productivity squeeze: constraints on brook trout growth along an Appalachian river continuum

    We tested the hypothesis that brook trout growth rates are controlled by a complex interaction of food availability, water temperature, and competitor density. We quantified trout diet, growth, and consumption...

    Ecological function of constructed perennial stream channels on reclaimed surface coal mines

    Mountaintop removal–valley fill mining results in the conversion of steep, forested headwater catchments to low gradient and open canopy channels. We compared the ecological functions of five reference stream ...

    Climate Change Effects on Hydrology and Ecology of Wetlands in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands

    Global climate change has received increased attention in the Mid-Atlantic Highlands (MAH) Region of the United States in recent years. Several climate models predict increases in mean temperature of 1–5°C ove...

    Response of Fish and Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment Indices to Water Chemistry in a Mined Appalachian Watershed

    Multimetric indices based on fish and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages are commonly used to assess the biological integrity of aquatic ecosystems. However, their response to specific stressors is rarely k...

    Interactive effects of multiple stressors and restoration priorities in a mined Appalachian watershed

    We surveyed benthic macroinvertebrate communities, water chemistry, and thermal regime in the Cheat River, WV, USA in an attempt to quantify the interactive effects of multiple stressors on ecological conditio...
