River and Wetland Restoration: Lessons from Japan
Open accessAbstract
River and wetland restoration has emerged as a worldwide phenomenon and is becoming a highly profitable business. Although researchers worldwide know a lot about restoration practices in Europe and the United States, we have only scant information about the activities in Japan, where more than 23,000 river restoration projects have been conducted during the past 15 years. In Japan, restoration is a daunting business because of the high human population density, urbanization, and harsh environmental conditions. Here we provide an overview of the various restoration activities in Japan and discuss the lessons that we can draw from them.

“Very similar patterns and processes as in streams can also be found for urban lakes and wetlands [103,104], we therefore we include them into the term 'urban hydrosystem syndrome', with the following differential elements (see further details and citations in the next sections).”

“Even under ‘normal conditions’, i.e., without additional immigration flows to cities due to the occurrence of war or to climate change (climate refugees), urban growth proceeds rapidly in the Global South if compared with advanced economies of North America, Europe or Japan.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
