Small waterbodies, including ponds and small lakes, low-order streams, ditches and
springs, are the most numerous freshwater environments globally, are critical for freshwater …

Abstract Small, 1st and 2nd-order, headwater streams and ponds play essential roles in
providing natural flood control, trap** sediments and contaminants, retaining nutrients …

Small watercourses are essential contributors to catchment water quality, but they continue
to suffer degradation across Europe. A results-based agri-environment scheme, aimed at …

Comprehensive research on the structural and functional variability of benthic
macroinvertebrate communities within headwater streams is limited, despite the fact that the …

Small streams dominate river networks and collectively support high biodiversity, but are
rarely included in regulatory biomonitoring programmes. Macroinvertebrate communities are …

We present data on the taxonomic diversity and structure of macroinvertebrate communities
in small, mostly 1st and 2nd order permanent streams from Struma, Mesta and Vardar …

Assessment of the Impacts of Forest Operations on the Ecological Quality of Water, also
known as the HYDROFOR Project, was a 7-year project (2008–2014 inclusive) funded by …

Rivers are network systems dominated by narrow channels, which are generally referred to
as small streams. There is, however, no universally accepted definition of what constitutes a …

The variability of hydrochemical parameters, the heterogeneity of the habitat, and a low level
of anthropogenic impact, create the premises for conserving the high biodiversity of aquatic …

This paper outlines the research being undertaken by the recently-initiated four-year (to
March 2022) project on the small stream network in Ireland (SSNet) funded by the Irish …
