Recommendations
Stream restoration designs
Consider local conditions
Riparian vegetation
Land use
Fluvial processes
Natural variability
Consider nature of disturbance
Develop more regional curves
Localized rather than generalized
Consider all factors
Caution against old trends 📈

Erosional processes
Depositional processes
Future challenges
Reforestation in urban areas 🌳
Increasing urbanization 🏙️
Population growth
Impervious area
Existing data trends untrustworthy 📈
Key findings
Riparian vegetation of stream
Forested banks 🌳
Larger streams
Stronger control than urbanization
Non-forested banks 🌾
Narrower streams
Little effect by urbanization
Level of urbanization
Urban 🏙️
Wider streams
More impervious area
Non-urban 🏕️
Narrower streams
More pervious area
No effect on depth
