Illustrations of conceptual models
The conceptual models are used to illustrate the relationships between three common restoration measures (riparian buffer instalment, instream mesohabitat improvement, weir-removal), its effects on instream environmental key variables, and eventually the impact of changing variables on benthic algae, macrophytes, benthic invertebrates and fish.

Water quality improvement by riparian buffers in low-energy streams. |

Low and high energy river: Enhancement of in-stream mesohabitat structures. |

Removal of weirs and dams in low-energy streams. |
