Abstract Building trust in science and evidence-based decision-making depends heavily on the credibility of studies their findings. Researchers employ many different study designs that vary risk bias to evaluate true effect interventions or impacts. Here, we empirically quantify, a large scale, prevalence magnitude estimates. Randomised controlled observational with pre-intervention sampling were used by just 23% intervention biodiversity conservation, 36% social science. We demonstrate,...

Abstract – Streams in the Aiako Harria Natural Park (Basque Country, Spain) have excellent water quality, but are physically impoverished after centuries of snagging. In an attempt to restore channel complexity and ecosystem functioning, especially in‐channel retention sediments organic matter, large woody debris (LWD) was introduced into four mountain streams (channel width 3–13 m) following a before/after, control/impact (BACI) design. Logs were by means hand‐held machinery located...

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have greatly improved water quality globally. However, treated effluents still contain a complex cocktail of pollutants whose environmental effects might go unnoticed, masked by additional stressors in the receiving waters or spatiotemporal variability. We conducted BACI (Before-After/Control-Impact) ecosystem manipulation experiment, where we diverted part effluent large tertiary WWTP into small, unpolluted stream to assess well-treated and highly diluted...
