Leaf litter decomposition in western iberian forested wetlands: lentic versus l...
Sampaio, Ana; Rodriguez-Gonzalez, Patricia; Varandas, Simone; Cortes, Rui Manuel; Ferreira, Maria TeresaLeaf litter breakdown is frequently used to measure both structural and functional integrity in aquatic ecosystems. Forested wetlands are interface systems that received little attention, especially in the Iberian Peninsula. The present study compares the decomposition of alder and willow in two biotopes (lentic and lotic) located in two different sites (Caxarias and Alpiarc¸a). Litterbags were used to compare ...
Combining habitat and biological characterization: ecological validation of the...
Cortes, Rui Manuel; Varandas, Simone; Hughes, Samantha Jane; Ferreira, Maria TeresaThe River Habitat Survey (RHS) is a widespread technique used to characterize the habitats at the fluvial sector level and to quantify the magnitude of physical disturbances. In this study we tested the ability of this method to discriminate sites along a gradient of perturbation and to analyse its relation with typological and environmental features. At the same time, a biological validation of RHS parameters ...
Hydrodynamics and water quality modelling in a regulated river segment: applica...
Lopes, Luis Filipe Gomes; Carmo, José S. Antunes Do; Cortes, Rui Manuel Vitor; Oliveira, DanielThe aim of this paper is to present a global study on the hydrodynamics, water quality and their influence on aquatic fauna. The case study was conducted on a segment of the Lima river (North Portugal), downstream of the Touvedo dam, which was mainly constructed for hydroelectric power production. ; http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6VBS-4BHVGYD-7/1/7765917f49c0a6b3764cf34a8227cfc2
