Impacts of Low-Order Stream Connectivity Restoration Projects on Aquatic Habitat and Fish Diversity by Xinfeng Li, Xuan Che, Xiaolong Chen, Changfeng Tian, Jiahua Zhang

“…Results indicate that (1) the post-restoration aquatic habitat significantly improved with marked increases in fish diversity metrics, where hydrochemical factors and species diversity exhibited the highest sensitivity to connectivity changes; (2) following restoration, the initially barrier-fragmented river segments (upstream, middle, downstream) exhibited significantly decreased differences in aquatic habitat and fish diversity, demonstrating progressive homogenization across reaches; (3) hydrological factors exerted stronger positive effects on fish diversity than hydrochemical factors did, particularly enhancing species diversity, with a significant positive synergistic effect observed between species diversity and functional diversity. …”
