Freshwater ecosystems are facing degradation from human activities in the form of
alterations of flow regimes, changes in land-use, and intensive water abstraction, in turn …

Benthic macroinvertebrates play a vital role in ecosystem functioning, such as nutrient
cycling, primary production, decomposition and material translocation. A study was done to …

Stream restoration practitioners and researchers have devoted a great deal of effort in recent
