About this product

As the key to sustaining the health of river basins and improving liveability for a city, a water ecosystem can provide rich services supporting the well-beings of humans. However, traditional techniques of grey engineering have resulted in negative impacts on water ecosystems, directly or indirectly, exacerbating issues such as water shortages, water body pollution, ecological damage, and water culture loss. Scholars attach more and more importance to the research on water ecosystem restoration based on a holistic perspective. Water ecosystem restoration theories have also seen a development from structural studies on rivers, lakes, and wetlands towards holism studies on water ecosystems by exploring related impact factors, restoration processes, scales, mechanisms, and models. In turn, associated restoration practices provide evidence for further theoretical exploration, among which nature-based approaches to water ecosystem restoration has become important measures to respond to the complex challenges of natural–social–economic systems and to enhance the overall water ecosystem services. At present, scholars have worked on extracting restoration modes, patterns, and techniques f
