Characterization of Ecological Exergy Based on Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Lotic Ecosystems
The evaluation of ecosystem health is a fundamental process for conducting effective ecosystem management. Ecological exergy is used primarily to summarize the complex dynamics of lotic ecosystems. In this study, we characterized the functional aspects of lotic ecosystems based on the exergy and specific exergy from headwaters to downstream regions in the river’s dimensions (i.e., river width a...
متن کاملEcological quality assessment of stream ecosystems using benthic macroinvertebrates
In this study, we applied the SOM for ecological assessment using benthic macroinvertebrates in aquatic ecosystem. First, Chapter I, SOM was utilized to extract information from complex data of environmental variables and benthic macroinvertebrate communities residing in different micro-habitats. Although the sampling was carried out in a limited area, the patterns of environmental variables re...
متن کاملErratum to “An expert system to estimate the pesticide contamination of small streams using benthic macroinvertebrates
We developed an expert system (LIMPACT) to estimate the pesticide contamination of streams using macroinvertebrate indicators. Here, we present the database consisting of 157 data sets obtained from 1992 to 2000 through investigation of 104 small headwater streams with an agricultural catchment area. The contamination by pesticides (insecticides, fungicides and herbicides) during rainfall event...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Ecological Integrity of Cerrado Streams Using Biological Metrics and the Index of Habitat Integrity
Generally, aquatic communities reflect the effects of anthropogenic changes such as deforestation or organic pollution. The Cerrado stands among the most threatened ecosystems by human activities in Brazil. In order to evaluate the ecological integrity of the streams in a preserved watershed in the Northern Cerrado biome corresponding to a mosaic of ecosystems in transition to the Amazonia biom...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
