How research interacts with applications in river management and restoration is a critical question within the Anthropocene era. Improved knowledge regarding the socioecological effects of river management and restoration is therefore needed to establish compromises between water uses and riverine ecosystem requirements. This special issue tackles how river management and restoration activities have recently evolved to target cost‐efficient and more integrated measures. Some of the contributions showed monitoring feedbacks provide lessons to improve river status and assess success of restoration activities. The range of success indicators considered is continually widening, including more social factors in addition to existing ecological ones. Moreover, win‐win and adaptative strategies are also explored to make restoration projects successful and more appreciated by people. Upscaling approaches are also feeding into a growing research field to provide more robust diagnosis for evaluating river status, targeting improvement actions and considering integrative ecological issues in addition to chemical and morphological factors and even fluvial risk assessment.

河流管理和修复的创新方法

在人类世时代，研究如何与河流管理和修复中的应用相互作用是一个关键问题。因此，需要增加有关河流管理和恢复的社会生态影响的知识，以在用水和河流生态系统需求之间建立折衷方案。本期专刊探讨了河流管理和恢复活动最近如何发展，以节省成本和更综合的措施为目标。一些贡献表明，监测反馈为改善河流状况和评估恢复活动的成功提供了经验教训。成功指标的范围正在不断扩大，除了现有的生态因素外，还包括更多的社会因素。此外，还探索了双赢和适应性策略，以使修复项目成功并获得人们的更多赞赏。升级方法也进入了一个不断发展的研究领域，以提供更强大的诊断，以评估河流状况，针对改善措施并考虑化学，形态因素甚至河流风险评估等综合生态问题。
