A practical tool to support ecosystem-based management in a river ecosystem: a case study of the Yellow River in China

Ecosystem-based management (EBM) is widely applied in marine and coastal ecosystems. However, its implementation in river basins is limited. This limitation is attributed to the lack of practical tools, which combine the general principles of EBM and the unique features of river ecosystems, to provi...
