The Ponto-Caspian amphipod Obesogammarus obesus (Sars, 1894) arrived the Rhine River via the Main-Danube Canal
The Ponto-Caspian amphipod Obesogammarus obesus (Sars, 1894) was first recorded in the Rhine River near Koblenz, Germany in October 2004. Additional records of small numbers of O. obesus from the same location in 2005 and 2006 indicate that this alien species may have become established in the central section of the Rhine River. Ship transport via the Main-Danube Canal, connecting the Danube ba...
متن کاملSeasonal and long-term prediction of low flows in the Rhine Basin
The aim of this paper is to give information about a new project on the Rhine River. In this project we intent to identify appropriate low flow prediction models for the seasonal and long term by comparing uncertainties in low flows predicted by different pre-selected models.
متن کاملInhibition of bacterial and phytoplanktonic metabolic activity in the lower River Rhine by ditallowdimethylammonium chloride.
The effects of a quaternary ammonium compound, ditallowdimethylammonium chloride (DTDMAC), on natural populations of bacteria and phytoplankton from the lower River Rhine were examined to estimate their sensitivity to the discharges of cationic surfactants in the river basin. In short-term experiments, significant decreases in the growth rate of bacterioplankton and in the photosynthetic rate o...
متن کاملEffects of land use changes on streamflow generation in the Rhine basin
[1] The hydrological regime of the Rhine basin is expected to shift from a combined snowmelt-rainfall regime to a more rainfall-dominated regime because of climate change, leading to more extreme flood peaks and low flows. Land use changes may reinforce the effects of this shift through urbanization or may counteract them through, for example, afforestation. In this study, we investigate the ef...
متن کاملComparing model performance of two rainfall-runoff models in the Rhine basin using different atmospheric forcing data sets
Due to the growing wish and necessity to simulate the possible effects of climate change on the discharge regime on large rivers such as the Rhine in Europe, there is a need for well performing hydrological models that can be applied in climate change scenario studies. There exists large variety in available models and there is an ongoing debate in research on rainfall-runoff modelling on wheth...
متن کاملDifferences in sensitivity of native and exotic fish species to changes in river temperature
This paper describes the effects that temperature changes in the Rhine river distributaries have on native and exotic fish diversity. Site-specific potentially affected fractions (PAFs) of the regional fish species pool were derived using species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) for water temperature. The number of fish species in the river distributaries has changed remarkably over the last ce...
