Abstract | The third biennial symposium of the International Society for River Science was held at Beijing Normal University, China, on 5–9 August 2013. The symposium was dedicated to consolidating knowledge on riverine ecosystem in response to the impacts of ever-increasing environmental pressures and promoting multi-disciplinary solutions for protecting and restoring ecosystems. Nine papers were selected to illustrate advances in understanding the mechanisms of ecological degradation, promoting new models for simulating the hydrological and ecological processes and establishing new tools for ecofriendly water resources management. |
