Integral assessment of the environment using the bioindication methods [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Bioindication is an assessment of environmental factors and their dynamics based on the properties of ecological or biological systems. Bioindication methods are easily applied in monitoring of the environment. Bioindication is one of the areas of modern

Evaluating Multiple Arthropod Taxa as Indicators of Invertebrate Diversity in Old Fields [PDF]

, 2018
Biodiversity, often quantified by species richness, is commonly used to evaluate and monitor the health of ecosystems and as a tool for conservation planning. The use of one or more focal taxa as surrogates or indicators of larger taxonomic diversity can

Heavy metals in carabids (Coleoptera, Carabidae) [PDF]

, 2011
Carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) are one of the most studied soil groups in relation to heavy metal (HM) accumulation and use for bioindication of environmental pollution. Accumulation of Zn and Cu in carabid beetles was species-, sex- and trophic

Innovative observation of the environment. Bioindicators and biomonitors: definitions, strategies and applications / Aplinkos stebėsenos naujovės. Bioindikatoriai ir biomonitoriai: apibrėžtys, strategijos ir taikymas

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2012
For a number of years “classical” programs for environmental monitoring are being supplemented by bioindication measures. Investigations on living organisms or their remains (e.g.

Macrophytes as bioindicators [PDF]

River Systems, 2003
Submerged macrophytes respond to changes in the nutrient concentrations in their environment. In contrast to diatoms e.g., submerged macrophytes are capable of taking up nutrients from both the sediment pore water and the overlying water. Therefore, macrophytes can provide a more comprehensive assessment of river ecosystems. Two methods using submerged

Is there a common threshold to subfossil chironomid assemblages at 16 m water depth? Evidence from the Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Limnology, 2020
Fluctuating lake levels are an important driver of ecosystem change, and changes in the precipitation/evaporation balance of a region can lead to undesirable changes in ecosystem functioning. Large-scale changes in hydrology will become increasingly more

Lichens as biological indicators of air quality in the urban area of Kuršumlija (Southern Serbia) [PDF]

Kragujevac Journal of Science, 2017
In this work, we provided a first indication of Kuršumlija (town of Southern Serbia) air quality using epiphytic lichens known as bioindicators. The investigations were carried out from April to October 2014.
