However, most of these have used assessment methods developed for particular geographic regions in other countries, or have been focused largely on relationships to chemical variables. Background. Streams and rivers are among the most threatened ecosystems worldwide, affected by increasing water demands by the human population and a variety of development pressures [, Biological assessments intend to characterize the current status of stream ecosystems by monitoring changes in the aquatic communities associated with anthropogenic disturbance.

Also, most of reference sites were located within the Han River watershed due to geographical bias of the sampling sites in the program (, Metric selection was performed on the basis that impaired sites supported less taxa richness and abundance than reference sites, because of unsuitable habitat conditions resulting from anthropogenic disturbance [, Taxa richness is one of the most reliable indicators in most multimetric indices, and shows good responsiveness to human disturbance [, The metrics related to the proportional abundance of taxon to the whole community are alternative measures of community balance [, Commonly used community indices were considered as composition measures, among which “Shannon’s diversity index” was found to be the most suitable.

Thus, the next phase of this study will be to test the applicability of the KB-IBI in the different streams. However, single-event sampling of riverine macroinvertebrates was common, and with the exception of Sweden, time series data were scarce. This was particularly evident in lakes located on islands, where diversity was consistently lower than mainland stations, even at similar latitudes.

Barbour, M.T. ; Herlihy, A.T. The water and benthic macroinvertebrate surveys were supported by both a hydromorphological and macrophytes assessment (hydromorphological and biological elements) at the same sampling sites. ; Hughes, R.M. Future assessments should continue to make use of the strong spatial coverage of data and accessibility of data from national databases, but monitoring activities must include higher taxonomic resolution of the Chironomidae (i.e., to sub-family using microscopic techniques or to species-level using genetic barcoding) and schedule regular re-sampling of areas to establish the time-series data required to assess the impacts of climate change and development. A number of biological methods specific to certain stream environments have been based on the indicator species concept. Diversity also appeared to be lower in mountainous ecoregions. Royer, T.V. Cho, W.S. ; Statzner, B. Biological integrity: A long-neglected aspect of water resource management. Assessment Methodology. Alpha diversity of river macroinvertebrates was lowest at the highest latitudes and on remote islands (e.g., Canadian high Arctic, Svalbard, Greenland, Iceland, Wrangel Island). A scoring system was established for each core metric using its quartile range and response to anthropogenic disturbances. To support future macroinvertebrate assessment in lakes, countries need to standardize the sampling approach, ideally including sampling of the taxonomically rich littoral habitat. Klemm, D.J. The organisms in these samples were hand-separated from detritus and inorganic materials in the laboratory. The authors are grateful to survey members involved in the project. - Int. Overview and application of national aquatic ecological monitoring program (NAEMP) in Korea. Three replicate samples, randomly taken at each riffle or gliding run within a 100 m reach, were pooled in a 500 mL plastic bottle to which 80% ethanol was immediately added. Griffith, M.B. Such anthropogenic disturbances have adversely influenced the ecological integrity of stream ecosystems, degrading both their physico-chemical and biological integrity. Condition of stream ecosystems in the US: An overview of the first national assessment. The KB-IBI provides a tool for assessment of the biotic integrity of Korean streams, and is comparable to other multimetric indices developed in other geographic regions and a reasonable tool applicable to future studies assessing the long-term status of streams and the effectiveness of various remediation methods.
