To determine the extent to which a large restoration effort in the 1990s altered the abundance and stability of the Butte Creek population of spring-run Chinook Salmon and of the entire spring-run stock complex in California's Central Valley, Cordoleani et al. compared annual trends before and after restoration and correlated adult abundance to floodplain inundation area. This research, published in the March issue of Ecosphere, underscores the importance of restoring a connected mosaic of aquatic habitats across modified landscapes, including cold-water refugia and floodplains, to preserve multiple (across-population) life history pathways for increasing salmon stock complex stability and abundance.
