Characteristics, main impacts, and stewardship of natural and artificial freshwater environments: consequences for biodiversity conservation
In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …
