DOI: 10.1007/s10750-018-3824-4
Abstract: Establishing ecological assessment schemes is challenging when gradients are short and there are no sites with minimal anthropogenic alteration against which metrics can be calibrated. This is the situation for large rivers in Romania and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2021.107108
Abstract: Abstract We examine how nutrient load compensation could help a firm expand its production when production is a source of nutrient loads, threatening the ecological status of a water body. We ask whether compensation is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.108105
Abstract: Abstract Diatoms are widely applied in the ecological status assessment of aquatic ecosystems using indices calculated from pollution sensitivity and indicator values of species. Traditional, morphology-based identification of species requires in-depth taxonomic knowledge and expertise.… read more here.
