the objective of this study was to diagnose integrative ecological health of an urban stream,which is located in the asian temperate region. the research approach was primarily based on the index ofbiological integrity (ibi) using fish assemblage and a qualitative habitat evaluation index (qhei). and these indexes were compared with long-term conventional chemical dataset during 1996-2005. for ...

Abstract Purpose Biotic and abiotic properties of soils can hinder or facilitate ecological restoration, management practices that impact edaphic factors strongly influence plant growth restoration outcomes. Salvaged topsoil is an invaluable resource for mine-site a common practice transfer from mined areas to sites. However, direct often not feasible, necessitating storage in stockpiles. We ev...
