The beaver meadow complex revisited – the role of beavers in post-glacial floodplain development
Lina E. Polvi,Ellen Wohl +1 more
TL;DR: This article examined the geomorphic significance of beaver-pond sediment by determining the rates and types of sedimentation since the middle Holocene and the role of beavers in driving floodplain evolution through increased channel complexity and fine sediment deposition.

Riparian and in‐stream restoration of boreal streams and rivers: success or failure?
Christer Nilsson,Lina E. Polvi,Johanna Gardeström,Eliza Maher Hasselquist,Lovisa Lind,Judith M. Sarneel +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed follow-up studies from Finnish and Swedish streams that have been restored after timber floating to assess the abiotic and biotic responses to restoration, and concluded that two decades is probably too short a time for most organisms to recover.

Biotic Drivers of Stream Planform Implications for Understanding the Past and Restoring the Future
Lina E. Polvi,Ellen Wohl +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of riparian vegetation and channel-spanning obstructions (e.g., beaver dams and logjams) in altering channel-floodplain dynamics in the southern Rocky Mountains is discussed.
Land-use effects on terrestrial consumers through changed size structure of aquatic insects
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of agricultural land use on aquatic-terrestrial linkages along streams arising from changes in the emergence of aquatic insects was assessed, and it was found that terrestrial predators wou...

Facets and scales in river restoration: Nestedness and interdependence of hydrological, geomorphic, ecological, and biogeochemical processes
Lina E. Polvi,Lovisa Lind,Lovisa Lind,Henrik J. Persson,Aneliza Miranda-Melo,Aneliza Miranda-Melo,Francesca Pilotto,Xiaolei Su,Xiaolei Su,Christer Nilsson,Christer Nilsson +10 more
TL;DR: This work introduces a checklist using the four river facets to prioritize restoration at three spatial scales in order to have the largest positive effect on the entire catchment, and applies this checklist to two contrasting regions with different anthropogenic effects and interactions between facets and scales.
