“…Enhanced sedimentation can result in lower channel and floodplain habitat diversity and stability, along with lower abundance and diversity of stream organisms (Gilvear et al, 1995;Iwata et al, 2003;Chiu et al, 2013). Excess sediment can alter water temperature, water chemistry, turbidity, and nutrient supply (Van Nieuwenhuyse and LaPerriere, 1986;Reynolds et al, 1989;Ryan, 1991).…”

“…Downstream of the former dam, initial ecological response is generally governed by the transport and deposition of reservoir sediments, which can increase water turbidity [ Warrick et al ., ; Major et al ., ; Magirl et al ., ], and scour and bury benthic habitats [ Keigley ; Bednarek ; Orr et al ., ; Chiu et al ., ]. Sediment deposition downstream of the dam during and after removal is typically the main driver of decreased macroinvertebrate species abundance and altered species assemblages [ Orr et al ., ; Chiu et al ., ; Evans and Wilcox , ]. Additional downstream effects may result from influxes of organic material (including large woody debris), nutrients, and contaminants that are mixed with or attached to sediment particles [ Stone and Droppo , ].…”

“…Case studies of macroinvertebrate responses to dam removal indicate highly spatiotemporally dynamic patterns, with initial responses frequently negative including decreased densities (e.g. Chiu, Yeh, Sun, & Kuo, ; Orr et al., ; Thomson et al., ) and taxa richness (e.g. Chiu et al., ; Claeson & Coffin, ; Maloney et al., ), an expected short‐term effect from the pulse disturbance initiated by dam deconstruction.…”

Different ensuing recovery trends have been observed, for example, short‐term (i.e.…”
