摘要：全球许多研究者都发现不少河流存在退化状况，他们通常采用河流修复的方法使河流生态系统恢复到更好的自然状态。因此，生态修复已成为全球河流管理中一项重要的科学研究方法。本文介绍了生态修复的现状，阐述了导致河流退化的原因和采用河流修复技术的理由。本文论述了河流生态修复的理想目标和在人类主导系统中的局限性。河流修复在此系统中包括三个步骤：计划，实施和监测。本文最后总结了生态修复未来将遇到的潜在挑战以及应对这些挑战的方法。

Abstract: Worldwide, people are becoming aware of the degraded condition of many rivers, and they are increasingly turning to river restoration to help river systems return to a more natural state. As a result, restoration ecology is becoming an important science in the management of the rivers worldwide. In this article, we discuss the present state of restoration ecology. We begin with a synopsis of some common causes of river degradation and the motivation for attempting river restoration. We then discuss the ideal goals for ecological restoration of rivers and how this process is necessarily constrained in human-dominated systems. River restoration in human-dominated systems is presented as a three-step process: planning, implementation, and monitoring. We conclude with an overview of future challenges for restoration ecology and some possible innovations to help address those challenges.
