The water diversion project from the Luanhe River to Tian** city has been a “lifeline” for the
economic and social development of Tian** city since the 1980s. The water quality of this …

Rivers in mediterranean regions are subject to hydrological extremes. They range from
highly stable, perennial ground-or snow-fed systems to highly ephemeral, unpredictable …

Climate change has enhanced the occurrence of rural fires, since changes in the
hydrological cycle have led to the occurrence of increasingly long and frequent periods of …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is closely related to phytoplankton blooms, one of the most
concerning environmental problems globally. DOM originates from phytoplankton …

An understanding of the interactions among local environmental factors (eg, physical habitat
and water quality) and aquatic assemblages is essential to conserve biodiversity in tropical …

The main objective of this work is to measure water quality using a stochastic index built with
tools of Probability Theory. Its great advantage is that it accounts for the underlying …

Biotic indices are important tools for evaluating water quality in Biomonitoring Programmes
of river basins. The objective of this study was to develop a Benthic Multimetric Index (BMI) …

The dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition in river ecosystems can reflect human
impacts on the river ecosystem, and plays an important role in the carbon cycling process …

Biological traits are increasingly used for describing ecological functioning of stream benthic
assemblages. Such approaches associate information on species distribution to their …

Areas with minimal anthropogenic influences are frequently used as reference sites and
represent the best ecological state available in a region. Streams in such conditions are …
