I'm looking for studies that have documented the biological responses to 
BMPs implemented in streams and rivers.  Are there papers or texts 
confirming that habitat improvements and restoration efforts result in 
improved abundance or diversity of aquatic fauna(fish or inverts)?
Can someone provide any leads?
