Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Rocky Mountain CESU: The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in assessing the ecological impacts of hydroscape modifications and developing tools to support decision making in the aquatic ecosystem management and ecological restoration. Nationally, most hydroscapes have been altered by man-built structures, water management and diversion, and other social-economic activities. The compositions, spatial patterns, and dynamics of these hydroscapes have been re-configured intentionally or unintentionally by these domesticating processes with unintended consequences for populations, communities, and ecosystems. For instance, levees constructed for flood control may decrease connectivity between floodplain and river channels, thereby limiting aquatic habitat, the exchange of nutrients, and natural flood attenuation. Information regarding the magnitude, characteristic, extent, and ecological consequences of hydroscape modification is much needed to improve our understanding of hydrologic, geomorphic, biogeochemical, and biological interactions and processes and to inform planning and design of aquatic restoration and conservation.
