Connectivity of streams and wetlands to downstream waters: A review and synthesis of the scientific evidence (final report)

On January 15, 2015 the US Environmental Protection Agency released their final report summarizing the scientific evidence about connectivity and wetlands. The report reviewed over 1200 peer-reviewed publications, and then synthesized the scientific evidence from those publications. This provides a current picture of the science related to how connectivity affects physical, chemical and biological integrity of downstream water.
