Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological indicators for stream restoration success
Joachim Pander,Juergen Geist +1 more
TL;DR: The Proceeding Chain of Restoration (PCoR) as discussed by the authors can provide a step-by-step guide for restoration ecologists, comprising all planning steps from the determination of the conservation objectives to the use of ecological indicators in post-restoration monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of macroinvertebrate- and fish-based stream health indices
TL;DR: A review of macroinvertebrate and fish indicators in riverine ecosystems is presented in this paper, where the authors discuss the current uses and developments of macro-vertebrates and fishes indicators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological Indicator Systems in Floodplains – a Review
TL;DR: In this article, a literature review of biological indicator systems in floodplains is presented, and the results of the RIVA project are put into the context of these indication approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of enzyme biomarkers in freshwater invertebrates from Taro and Ticino river, Italy
TL;DR: The activities of a number of enzymes, regarded as potential biomarker of exposure to pollutants (catalase, acetylcholinesterase, glutathione-S-transferase) was determined in homogenates of whole organisms, and significant differences among taxa concerning the specific activity of most enzymes are emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of conservation practice implementation strategies in the context of stream health
Matthew R. Herman,A. Pouyan Nejadhashemi,Fariborz Daneshvar,Dennis Ross,Sean A. Woznicki,Zhen Zhang,Abdol-Hossein Esfahanian +6 more
TL;DR: This study introduces a new approach to improve stream health to a desirable condition at the lowest cost by optimizing the best management practice (BMP) implementation plan by integrating genetic algorithm techniques in stream health modeling.

Technical Support Document for Water Quality-based Toxics Control
James Taft,Robert Wood,Bill Swietlik,John Cannell,Charles Delos,James Pendergast,Magarete Heber,Robert April,Kathryn Smith,Sheila Frace,Richard Healy,Rick Brandes,Elizabeth Southerland,Jacqueline Romney,Warren Banks +14 more
TL;DR: The Technical Support Document (TSD) for Water Quality-based Toxics Control as discussed by the authors provides the most current procedure recommendations and guidance for identifying, analyzing, and controlling adverse water quality impacts caused by toxic discharges to the surface waters of the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological Effects of Agriculturally Derived Surface Water Pollutants on Aquatic Systems—A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified agricultural activities as major contributors to environmental stress, which affects all ecosystem components, such as aquatic life, water quality, and the ability to recover from contaminant damage if not seriously overloaded with irreversible pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and implementation of rapid assessment approaches for water resource monitoring using benthic macroinvertebrates
TL;DR: In the UK, a model developed using multivariate statistics uses a few environmental variables thought to be unaffected by human activities to predict the fauna expected at a test site in the UK approach; in the US they are used as an aid to classification and interpretation of aquatic faunal data as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of insecticide contamination in agricultural headwater streams
TL;DR: In this article, a headwater stream in an agricultural catchment in Northern Germany was intensively monitored for insecticide occurrence (lindane, parathion-ethyl, fenvalerate).
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking insecticide contamination and population response in an agricultural stream
Mathias Liess,Ralf Schulz +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that agricultural insecticide input may alter the dynamics of macroinvertebrate communities in streams using in-parallel bypass microcosms containing the dominant species Gammarus pulex and Limnephilus lunatus.
