Title: | Multi-scale approach using phytoplankton as a first step towards the definition of the ecological status of reservoirs | Authors: | Cabecinha, Edna Cortes, Rui Cabral, João Alexandre Ferreira, Teresa Lourenço, Martinho Pardal, Miguel Ângelo |
Keywords: | Phytoplankton; Ecological status; Reservoirs; Water Framework Directive; Multivariate analysis; Ecological indicators | Issue Date: | 1-Sep-2008 | Citation: | Ecological Indicators. In Press, Corrected Proof: | Abstract: | The growing need to analyse the present state of ecosystems and predict their rate of change has triggered a demand to explore species environment relationships for assessing alterations under anthropogenic influence. The Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires the definition of different types of water bodies which are of relevance when assessing their ecological status. The main aim of this study was to define of the types of Portuguese reservoirs located in the North and Centre of Portugal and to assess their ecological status using phytoplankton as water quality indicators. In this study, sampling was carried out in 34 reservoirs during four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter), through a period of 8 years (1996-2004). | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/5292 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ecolind.2008.04.006 | Rights: | openAccess |
