Learning to network and networking to learn: facilitating the process of adaptive management in a local response to the UK's National Air Quality Strategy.

abstract：:Worldwide, the ecological condition of streams and rivers has been impaired by agricultural practices such as broadscale modification of catchments, high nutrient and sediment inputs, loss of riparian vegetation, and altered hydrology. Typical responses include channel incision, excessive sedimentation, declining wate...
