Moreover, extended perennial pasture phases are being promoted...

Abstract River infrastructure can cause adverse impacts on fish populations, which, in turn, compromises the ability of river ecosystems to provide a range ecosystem services. In this paper, we present methodological approach assess potential economics costs and benefits connectivity enhancement achieved through removal mitigation dispersal barriers. Our combines results stated preference study...
