Abstract
The small hydropower stations have reached a new balance after years of operation. The ecological balance of the river would been broken by the dam removal and the reservoir area above the dam would disappear. Consequently, a series of changes occurred in water depth, velocity of flow, the concentration of organic and inorganic nutrients, distribution and form of organic matter, aquatic organism, etc. It is unclear what would happen for the hydrodynamic conditions, sediment characteristics and aquatic organism community structure of the reservoir area and the lower reaches after the dam removal. Therefore, it is urgent to study the impact of dam removal on the transportation and redistribution of organic debris and the potential ecological effects with benthos as indicators in the river where the small hydropower station is located.
