The delivery of excessive fine sediment (particles< 2 mm in diameter) to rivers can cause
serious deleterious effects to aquatic ecosystems and is widely acknowledged to be one of …

This study investigates the potential for physical damage caused by suspended fine
sediment on gills of three macroinvertebrate species, Hydropsyche siltalai, Ephemera …

The barriers for the development of continuous monitoring of Suspended Sediment
Concentration (SSC) in channels/rivers include costs and technological gaps but this paper …

The quantification of the bed grain size distribution (GSD) of river surfaces is primarily
conducted through manual approaches in the field. These methods are time consuming and …

Sedimentation involving the process of silt transport also carries nutrients from upstream to
downstream of a river/stream. Sand being one of the important fraction of these sediments is …

Abstract The North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) has invaded
freshwater ecosystems across Europe. Recent studies suggest that predation of …

Excess fine sediment is a global cause of lotic ecosystem degradation. Despite historic
interest in identifying sediment sources and quantifying instream dynamics, tackling fine …

While the finest fraction of suspension has long been considered to have limited interactions
with the river bed, several recent studies based on flume and field observations raise …

A fundamental consideration in aquatic invasive species risk management is the distribution
of invasive taxa relative to the risk assessment area. However, sampling the distribution of …

Among the natural prerequisites that affect the recreational appeal of the region, along with
the geomorphological, landscape and biological features of the terrain, the hydroclimatic …
