Abstract

Before-After-Control-Impact habitat and invertebrate assessment has been undertaken across a control and restored site along Foxes Beck and the River Mun, respectively (Figure 1). This approach has enabled the assessment of water quality, habitat and ecological restoration following the diversion of sewage effluent and the installation of large woody debris (Lwd). We have combined data from multiple stream Lwd restorations in order to assess how the project on the Mun is performing. Relative to other streams in the database, the Mun had the second lowest invertebrate species richness (39) after Foxes Beck (29), likely due to their nature as headwaters which are depauperate relative to lower reaches1. There was a significant restoration effect causing invertebrate density and biomass to increase across all habitats within the Mun.
