Protecting aquatic ecosystem health : are water quality objective realistic ?
Many regulatory authorities set water quality objectives or thresholds based on nutrient concentrations to safeguard aquatic ecosystem health. But do these criteria adequately assess the biological and ecological status? Our research has been focussing on the performance of constructed wetlands for water quality improvement and ecosystem health. In this paper we present data on macroinvertebrat...
متن کاملBiodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning: Maintaining Natural Life Support Processes
Critical processes at the ecosystem level influence plant productivity, soil fertility, water quality, atmospheric chemistry, and many other local and global environmental conditions that ultimately affect human welfare. These ecosystem processes are controlled by both the diversity and identity of the plant, animal, and microbial species living within a community. Human modifications to the li...
متن کاملMaintaining Food Safety by Protecting Irrigation Water from Faecal Contamination Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture ADF Project
Our ability to identify and eliminate fecal contamination of water, now and in the future, is essential to reduce incidences of waterborne disease. Bacterial source tracking is a recently developed approach for identifying sources of fecal pollution. PCR primers designed by Bernhard and Field [Bernhard, A.E., Field, K.G., 2000a. A PCR assay to discriminate human and ruminant feces on the basis ...
متن کاملLife-history and Behavioural Adaptations to Flow Regime in Aquatic Insects
Evolutionary history determines how aquatic insects cope with extreme fl ow events, both natural and anthropogenic. From a macroevolutionary point of view, aquatic insects possess different modes of adaptation (morphological, behavioural, or life history) to cope with fl ow events. For example, some Ephe meroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera are adapted to long-term average cycles of fl ood and...
