Journal ArticleDOI

Protecting and restoring Europe's waters: An analysis of the future development needs of the Water Framework Directive

Laurence Carvalho, +25 more
- 25 Mar 2019 - 
TL;DR: This analysis highlights that there is great potential to enhance assessment schemes through strategic design of monitoring networks and innovation, such as earth observation, and further integrate with other sectoral policies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing strengths and weaknesses of DNA metabarcoding‐based macroinvertebrate identification for routine stream monitoring

Vasco Elbrecht, +4 more
- 01 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: Using samples obtained in the field, it is demonstrated that DNA metabarcoding can achieve comparable assessment results to current protocols relying on morphological identification, and offers powerful advantage over Morphological identification in providing identification for taxonomic groups that are unfeasible to identify in routine protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implementation options for DNA-based identification into ecological status assessment under the European Water Framework Directive.

Daniel Hering, +17 more
- 01 Jul 2018 - 
TL;DR: Overall, suitability of DNA-based identification is particularly high for fish, as eDNA is a well-suited sampling approach which can replace expensive and potentially harmful methods such as gill-netting, trawling or electrofishing.
Journal ArticleDOI

How Essential Biodiversity Variables and remote sensing can help national biodiversity monitoring

Petteri Vihervaara, +16 more
- 01 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors look at one country with a relatively advanced biodiversity monitoring scheme and study how well Finland's current biodiversity state indicators correspond with essential biodiversity variables (EBVs) and how national biodiversity monitoring could be improved by using available remote sensing (RS) applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global patterns and drivers of ecosystem functioning in rivers and riparian zones

Scott D. Tiegs, +151 more
- 09 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is found that Earth’s biomes have distinct carbon processing signatures, and slow processing is evident across latitudes, whereas rapid rates are restricted to lower latitudes.
