The response of macroinvertebrate community taxa and functional groups to pollution along a heavily impacted river in Central Europe (Bilina River, Czech Republic)

Original language description

Macroinvertebrate communities were investigated along a gradient of heavy industrial and municipal pollution in the highland Bilina River (Czech Republic). Impacted sites differed significantly from reference and from recovered stretches. Chemical data revealed two main pollution factors, (1) a "salinity determinant", described best by conductivity and SO (4) (2-) , and (2) an "organic pollution determinant", represented best by O(2) concentrations and NO (2) (-). Functional communities showed a stronger relationship to the "organic pollution determinant", suggesting that elevated organic pollution had a dominating influence on functional community metrics. On the other hand, there were indications that the taxonomic community was more influenced by ion concentrations. The results presented here can be used as a reference for assessing future changes in environmental impact from pollution, being finer and more detailed than assessment according to the EU's WFD.
