Abstract

Habitat and invertebrate assessment has been undertaken in an upstream control and compared to restored and backwater stretches of the Little Ouse (Figure 1). This approach has enabled a post-assessment of ecological restoration following the remeandering restoration works in 1994. We have combined data from multiple stream restorations in order to assess how the project on the L. Ouse is performing. Relative to other streams in the database, the L. Ouse had the highest invertebrate species richness. Species richness was also significantly elevated in the restored backwater habitat relative to the main channel. However, invertebrate density was low relative to other stream restorations highlighting the potential for future habitat restoration.
