Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the impact of stream channelization, a common practice involving the modification of riverbeds to control flooding. The author, an expert in the field, conducted extensive research in Hawaii to examine the effects of channelization on native stream species. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the ecological consequences of stream channelization, particularly on native fish and decapod crustaceans. The book discusses how channelization alters water parameters such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels, creating an inhospitable environment for these species. The author also examines the broader implications of channelization, including its impact on biodiversity, ecosystem function, and the cultural significance of streams. This book offers valuable insights for professionals involved in stream management and conservation. It provides practical recommendations for mitigating the negative impacts of channelization and highlights the importance of preserving natural stream habitats for the survival of native species.
