- A new method for assessing the impact of hydromorphological degradation on the macroinvertebrate fauna of five German stream types (2004, background): “Only recently multimetric systems with stressor-specific approaches have been developed for many European river types (Brabec et al., 2004; Buffagni et al., 2004; Ofenböck et al., 2004; Sandin et al., 2004).”
- Detection of ecological change using multiple organism groups: metrics and uncertainty (2006, background): “…quality (e.g., Gorman & Karr, 1978; Bain et al., 1988; Tremp & Kohler, 1995), and benthic invertebrates are commonly used for monitoring the effects of organic pollution, acidification and alterations in hydromorphology (e.g., Armitage et al., 1983; Buffagni et al., 2004; Sandin et al., 2004).”
- Cook book for the development of a Multimetric Index for biological condition of aquatic ecosystems: Experiences from the European AQEM and STAR projects and related initiatives (2006, background): “Numerous papers describe the possible approaches to metric selection (e.g. Holland, 1990; Barbour et al., 1992; Karr & Kerans,1992; Barbour et al., 1999; Karr & Chu, 1999; Buffagni et al., 2004; Hering et al., 2004b; Ofenböck et al., 2004; Vlek et al., 2004).”
- Assessment of european streams with diatoms, macrophytes, macroinvertebrates and fish : a comparative metric-based analysis of organism response to stress (2006, background): “…the reach scale, as impairment may affect spawning and feeding habitats, followed by macroinvertebrates and macrophytes, which may be most affected by habitat degradation on the microhabitat scale (Passauer et al., 2002; Buffagni et al., 2004; Lorenz et al., 2004a), and weakest on benthic diatoms.”
- The effect of taxonomic resolution on the assessment of ecological water quality classes (2004, background): “The base of the AAS are multimetric indices for a number of combinations of stream types and stressors (e.g., see Brabec et al., 2004; Buffagni et al. 2004; Sandin et al., 2004), each consisting of a combination of metrics that can – aggregated together – discriminate between five ecological…”
