| Contents Notes |
1. Introduction -- 2. Review of ecological indicators and their characteristics -- 3. Decision tree for selecting ecological indicators based on benthic invertebrate fauna data sets -- 4. Decision tree for selecting adequate indices or ecological indicators : examples of application -- 5. Combining indicators to characterise a system's ecological quality status. This book provides an updated revision and examples of application of indicators available to assess the status of coastal and transitional ecosystems. Moreover, a decision tree to be used as guidance in selecting which indicators should be applied in any particular case involving benthic fauna is proposed. Finally, differences in performance of various indicators are illustrated through a series of case studies on marine and estuarine ecosystems. |
