River Renaturalization in the Tisza Basin
after Forest Cutting Activities
and public participation in it
3-4 September 2014
![Page 2: River Renaturalization in the Tisza Basin After Forest ...€¦ · River Renaturalization in the Tisza Basin after Forest Cutting Activities and public participation in it 3-4 September](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051815/603bfc2ca69dfe208d40c5ec/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Destruction of riverbeds
due to forest activities
the Skorodniy stream, tributary of Tisza in the Carpathians
![Page 3: River Renaturalization in the Tisza Basin After Forest ...€¦ · River Renaturalization in the Tisza Basin after Forest Cutting Activities and public participation in it 3-4 September](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051815/603bfc2ca69dfe208d40c5ec/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Situation before the restoration Excessive amounts of timber
replacement of lithorheophilic fauna, typical for mountaineer
rivers, by xylophyte and perophilic ones.
After wide development of xylophyte chippers – Amphipoda,
eurybiontic predators – Hirudinea – appear, then gatherers –
larvae of Chironomidae etc.
In conditions when the whole riverbed or its large areas
are polluted, such situation is not normal. Such
“defective” communities can exist for years.

4 stages of river renaturalization 1. Collection of wooden residues in the riverbed
![Page 5: River Renaturalization in the Tisza Basin After Forest ...€¦ · River Renaturalization in the Tisza Basin after Forest Cutting Activities and public participation in it 3-4 September](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051815/603bfc2ca69dfe208d40c5ec/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
4 stages of river denaturalization 2. Restoration of morphological and biotopical
structure
8 dams, 7 half-dams and 5 artificial rapids were made of local stones,
the riverbed tortuosity was restored, while drops of depths and zones
with different stream speeds and turbulization were created

4 stages of river denaturalization 3. Selection of reference (donor) river
(similar to the river in question by its size and geological structure of the riverbed,
and situated at the same height above the sea level)

4 stages of river denaturalization 4. Re-introduction of typical for mountain rivers
invertebrates and fish
(5,000 of specimen of Ephemeroptera naides, 9 stream trouts
Salmo trutta morpha fario, 5 gobies Cotlus poecilopus and 4
minnows Phoxinus phoxinus)

Results (after 4 years) Structure of the community of bottom invertebrates in the river Skorodniy in
August 2012 looked as fully completed by quantity parameters– 1356 ind.m-2 and 14 g.m-2, as well as by taxonomic abundance – 67 species of macroinvertebrates from 10 taxonomic groups.
The most widely present groups include: Ephemeroptera – 20, Trichoptera – 15 species, Plecoptera – 9 species. Juvenile larva of Chironomidae and green drake Baetis sp. dominates by number, Plecoptera – P. burmeisteriana and Ephemeroptera – E. assimilis, Baetis sp by biomass. There were rarely met G. Balcanicus, and Herpobdellidae – several items.
Similarity of the specie composition with the reference river was quite high and was IS = 0,58.
Besides, there is a local population of trout, as well as other fish, typical for this region, in the river.
Restoration of ecological state of the river Skorodniy was successful.

Public participation in river restoration
1. Children involvement in the release of the fish
