The guide for a standardized monitoring of hydromorphological restoration works in rivers aims tosupport managers in the evaluation of the efficiency of their work and produce homogeneous, stored and traceable monitoring data, to fuel science on the effects of hydromorphological restoration works in rivers. Resulting from a long collaborative process, this monitoring (also called Minimal Scientific Monitoring or MSM) was built around major structuring principles such as BACI-type design, long-term monitoring and the use of standardized protocols. It is applicable in mainland France on the wadeable watercourses with at least one meter of wetted width and has been adapted to seven types of hydromorphological restoration works. The example of ...
