| Abstract |
Generally aquatic systems exposed to environmental stress (pollution) have fewer species and less diversity than naturally occurring communities. In the present study physicochemical conditions and community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates were investigated in a drainage system polluted with acid mine drainage. A statistical interpretation was preformed to show possible correlation between water parameters and species diversity. The applicability of using the macroinvertebrate community structure to evaluate stream conditions consequent to acid flow is discussed. |
