Special Issue: Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology (SUSE5): Moving the bar on multidisciplinary solutions to wicked urban stream problems

Much time, money, and effort have been expended on understanding urban watersheds and stream restoration from local to global scales, but our knowledge of what contributes to successes and failures in urban ecosystem restoration is still growing. Interdisciplinary information ranging from empirical case studies, research syntheses and perspectives, and long-term monitoring are desperately needed to improve the next generation of urban watershed management and stream restoration practices. Overall, this special issue provides an improved understanding of how managing and restoring hydrologic flowpaths, changing or limiting pollutant sources, and improving management along watersheds and streams influences the quantity, quality, and ecosystem functions and services of urban waters across space and time.
