Abstract
Historic stream degradation across the United States has altered the structure of streams, consequently compromising their ability to store incoming nutrients and water and foster healthy ecological communities. Process-based restoration (PBR) has been implemented in a New England headwater stream to reduce water velocity, induce streambed aggradation, and restore floodplain connectivity. In situ and remote monitoring of the site over a year revealed some changes in the stream presumably resulting from the restoration performed there. The results have implications for this stream as well as the role of PBR in the greater context of river restoration.
