Article Synopsis
- Research has primarily focused on a limited area regarding plant-associated macroinvertebrates, restricting broader conclusions about geographic and climate impacts.
- A study investigated macroinvertebrates in common reed across 46 shallow lakes in Europe, revealing different community compositions linked to climate zones and environmental factors.
- Findings indicate that macroinvertebrate diversity and density vary significantly with geographic location and human influence, highlighting the effects of climate change on these communities.
Assessing temporal representativeness of water quality monitoring data.
J Environ Monit
February 2012
The effectiveness of different monitoring methods in detecting temporal changes in water quality depends on the achievable sampling intervals, and how these relate to the extent of temporal variation. However, water quality sampling frequencies are rarely adjusted to the actual variation of the monitoring area. Manual sampling, for example, is often limited by the level of funding and not by the optimal timing to take samples.
