crossdisciplinary understanding that builds on a landscape
template.

application to river rehabilitation programs - develops a coherent
set of guiding principles with which to approach integrative river
science - considers the application of cross-disciplinary thinking
in river rehabilitation experiences from around the world -
examines the crossover between science and management, outlining
issues that must be addressed to promote healthier river
futures
Case studies explore practical applications in different parts
of the world, highlighting approaches to the use of integrative
river science, measures of success, and steps that could be taken
to improve performance in future efforts.
