Human activities are a significant threat to the health of river ecosystems, especially in developing countries. In Thailand, benthic macroinvertebrates have been widely used for bioassessment for aquatic ecosystem evaluation. However, most of them focuses on streams, which may not be applicable to large rivers. This study aimed to fill this gap by developing a macroinvertebrate multimetric index for

Riparian habitat connectivity restoration in an anthropized landscape: A multi-species approach based on landscape graph and soil bioengineering structures Environ. Manag. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-13
Abstract In urbanized areas, rivers and riparian ecosystems are often the only ecological corridors available for wildlife movement. There, riverbanks are often stabilised by civil engineering structures (dykes, riprap). This can lead to habitat degradation and loss of landscape connectivity. Fascines (willow bundles tied together) could be an alternative to riprap, since they maintain the quality

Brazil is among the main contributors to global biodiversity, which, in turn, provides extensive ecosystem services. Agriculture is an activity that benefits greatly from these ecosystem services, but at the same time is degrading aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and eroding Brazilian biodiversity. This conflict is growing, as emerging unsustainable legislative proposals that will benefit the agricultural
