Community indices, such as maturity or diversity, condense information regarding the structure and composition of communities into a single metric. Soil health and quality can be inferred from such indices by assuming that communities with different structure and composition function differently. Thus, these indices can be instrumental in monitoring soil and sediment quality as well as assessin...

Water contamination is indeed a worldwide problem that threatens public health, environmental protection, and agricultural productivity. The distinctive attributes of machine learning (ML)-based modelling can provide in-depth understanding into increasing water quality challenges. This study presents the development multi-expression programming (MEP) based predictive model for parameters, i.e.,...

A biological assessment of the Tang Sorkh River (Iran) was studied from July 2013 to August 2014 using benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Samples were gathered every two months, from five stations using a Surber sampler( 30×30cm), fixed in formalin (4%) and then separated and identified in the laboratory. Environmental conditions (current velocity, temperature, depth, width, dissolve oxygen...
