Local habitat and riparian modifications imposed by surrounding land use drastically impact
the water quality of streams. However, whether these effects could still be discernible when …

Land-use changes have negative effects on stream conditions and fish assemblages, but
their effects on water quality and the use of microhabitats by fish in subtropical lowland …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of agricultural land use and periods of
hydrological variability on the environmental variables, as well as macrophyte and …

Fluvial systems are particularly sensitive to changes in the terrestrial ecosystems where they
are embedded, receiving simultaneously the impact of multiple stressors. The design of …

Lowland streams are usually affected by river engineering works that produce the loss of
habitat heterogeneity. Our aim was to assess the transplantation of macrophytes with …

A myriad of factors affect stream fish assemblages, and most of them are intimately regulated
by surrounding land uses. One of the most pernicious impacts on streams is the release of …

This study aimed to determine the impact of horticultural land use on the taxonomic

The objective of the present article is to propose an index that allows the assessment of the
fluvial habitat quality in lowland streams that run through urbanized areas, by the use of …

The critical factor in restoration and conservation of urban streams and their catchments is
the human population, however the most of studies of urban ecosystems do not present …

The River Luzou flows through a sandy substrate in the South West of France. According to
