Therefore, the habitat requirements and composition of conservative object should be well understood before applying any improvement measure. In this paper, the causes of stream habitat changes were first illustrated with the categories and principles of habitat restoration methods. The structural restoration techniques of fish habitat improvement, including dam partial-removal, utilized by the authors for two research projects during last dozen years were then presented. Through the introductions on the project background, planning guidelines, structure design, and ecological evaluation, this paper tried to provide some effective examples of ecological engineering that ecological experts were invited for cooperation and advising.born digitalproceedings (reports)engCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
