项目摘要

This project will develop an 'ecological toolbox' that identifies primary stressor(s) stressing river ecosystems and the likelihood of promoting ecological recovery following the implementation of specific river restoration strategies. It will do so by employing primary data collection a 'big-data' approach to assess key anthropogenic stressors which should be prioritised based on the response of multiple macroinvertebrate metrics and identify river restoration opportunities. The candidate will draw on the expertise of the River Restoration Centre and their 'National River Restoration Inventory' to target watercourses exposed to specific human interventions and pressures. The candidate will also work with the Environment Agency's 'BIOSYS' dataset on long-term freshwater river macroinvertebrate surveys from targeted rivers. Catchment-wide assessments and knowledge on a suite of river restoration measures will be undertaken to inform effective management strategies. The industrial partners will help identify restoration projects (near completion or recently finished) with robust baseline data which would be the focus of primary data field collection. This will provide a greater causal understanding of the ecological mechanisms underpinning macroinvertebrate metric responses, thus further refining and improving the ecological toolbox and its ability to predict sustainable river restoration interventions.

该项目将开发一个“生态工具箱”，以确定河流生态系统的主要压力源，以及在实施具体的河流恢复战略后促进生态恢复的可能性。它将采用原始数据收集和“大数据”方法来评估关键的人为压力源，这些压力源应根据多个大型无脊椎动物指标的反应进行优先处理，并确定河流恢复的机会。候选人将利用河流恢复中心及其“国家河流恢复清单”的专门知识，针对受到特定人类干预和压力的水道。候选人还将与环境署的“BIOSYS”数据集合作，对目标河流进行长期的淡水河流大型无脊椎动物调查。我们会就一套河流修复措施进行全流域评估和了解，为有效的管理策略提供信息。工业合作伙伴将帮助确定恢复项目（接近完成或最近完成），并提供可靠的基线数据，这将是主要数据领域收集的重点。这将为宏观无脊椎动物度量响应的生态机制提供更大的因果理解，从而进一步完善和改进生态工具箱及其预测可持续河流恢复干预措施的能力。
