The monitoring of water bio-physical parameters and the management of aquatic
ecosystems are crucial to cope with the current state of inland water degradation. Not only …

Dam construction goes back in human history for more than 5000 years (eg, Sadd el-Kafara
dam in Egypt for fiood protection), but most of the world's existing dams have been built after …

Macroinvertebrates are widely used for monitoring freshwater ecosystems. In most
monitoring programs, identifications take substantial time and expense. Methods that …

Aquatic vegetation has important ecological and regulatory functions and should be
monitored in order to detect ecosystem changes. Field data collection is often costly and …

Duration and timing of thermal stratification and the period of vertical mixing are crucial for
internal chemical and biological processes of deep temperate lakes. Climatic changes …

Comprising many small and large lagoons, the Kizilirmak Lagoon Series is located in the
Kizilirmak Delta, which is one of the most important wetlands protected by the Ramsar …

Climate change and anthropogenic exploitation have led to the gradual salinization of
inland waters worldwide. However, the impacts of this process on the prokaryotic plankton …

River damming reduces the dispersal rates of biota and filter species by altering the local
environmental conditions. Although phytoplankton is a key biotic group to indicate changes …

The variability of water chemistry on a daily scale is rarely addressed due to the lack of
records. Appropriate tools, such as typologies and dimensionless indicators, which permit …

Current climate change in the northern regions is a well-recognized phenomenon. In central
Yakutia (the Sakha Republic), the long-term trend displays a consistent mean annual air …
