Benthic diatom community dynamics in Mediterranean intermittent streams: Effect...
Novais, Maria Helena; Morales, Eduardo; Marchã Penha, Alexandra; Potes, Miguel; Bouchez, Agnès; Barthès, Amélie; Costa, Maria João; Salgado, RuiThe study of intermittent rivers is a critical and timely issue due to theirworldwide increase, triggered by several causes including climate change. The need to understand the response of intermittent river biota to water intermittency led us to conduct this study using benthic diatoms collected in southern Portugal. Benthic diatomswere explored in terms of assemblages, diversity indices, the Specific Pollutio...
Community Ecology and Biomonitoring in IRES
Stubbington, Rachel; Barthès, Amélie; Bercea, Silviu; Morais, Manuela; et alIntermittent rivers and Ephemeral Streams (IRES) are river water bodies characterised by temporary flow. They are widespread across the EU and a significant proportion of them is expected to increase due to climate change scenarios and rising water demands. The purpose of this handbook is to help water managers to understand the natural processes prevailing in IRES and their importance for biodiversity and loca...
