WISER Deliverable D3.3-2: The importance of invertebrate spatial and temporal variation for ecological status classification for European lakes [PDF]
European lakes are affected by many human induced disturbances. In principle, ecological theories predict that the structure and functioning of benthic invertebrate assemblage (one of the Biological Quality Elements following the Water Framework ...

Climate change impact on the ecological status of rivers: The case of Albaida Valley (SE Spain) [PDF]
Understanding the effects of environmental stressors (e.g., potential changes in climate and land use) on ecological status is essential for freshwater management.

DILSTORE software for ecological status assessment of lakes based on benthic diatoms [PDF]
Until recently, only few diatom indices were developed for monitoring littoral zones of lakes. The available indices are not applicable for all lake types because species lists and environmental constraints’ ranges are different.

Is there a need for a more explicit accounting of invasive alien species under the Water Framework Directive? [PDF]
Through ratification of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), EU Member States committed themselves to a pressure-based assessment ofthe ecological status of their water bodies.

Ecological Status and Change by Remote Sensing [PDF]
Evaluating ecological patterns and processes is crucial for the conservation of ecosystems [1]. In this view, remote sensing is a powerful tool for monitoring their status and change. This involves several tasks like biodiversity estimate, landscape ecology, and species distribution modeling, to name a few [2].
