Indicating the status of freshwater ecosystems under changing climatic conditions. Climate change and Freshwater ecosystems. How to use the website. Climate change - a threat to aquatic ecosystems. Rivers, lakes and wetlands are under intense pressure from multiple use, pollution and habitat degradation. The services that aquatic ecosystems can provide to society have been greatly reduced, and the biota is strongly affected, with several aquatic species disappearing from entire ecoregions.

The EU-funded research project BioFresh established an internet platform bringing together information and data on freshwater biodiversity in a clearly arranged and easily explorable way. These efforts are now being continued through extending the platform, widening its scope from biodiversity issues to all kinds of freshwater ecology, management and research topics. All major results from BioFresh are now available on the.

Here you can find autecological characteristics, ecological preferences and biological traits as well as distribution patterns of more than 20,000 European freshwater organisms. Belonging to fish, macro-invertebrates, macrophytes, diatoms. The ecology data feature distributional parameters. Eg ecoregional distribution or endemism, etc. Eg stream zonation or altitudinal preference, etc. Is the inclusion of trait .

Integrative Systems to assess Ecological status and Recovery. The WISER project has developed methods for assessing and restoring aquatic ecosystems. The WISER project has officially finished with the end of February 2012. For three years, 25 European research institutions. Representing 16 countries have addressed the assessment and management of rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters in Europe. Enhanced primary productivity caused by nitrogen and phosphorous.

River Great Ouse in arable farmland in Southern England. Multiple stressors from nutrient pollution affect the ecosystem services that this river can provide. Last week we wrote about the new MARS factsheets. Which we covered on the blog. Assesses the impacts of multiple stressors. On the provision of ecosystem services from freshwater ecosystems, under different .
