Using historical data, expert judgement and multivariate analysis in assessing reference conditions and benthic ecological status, according to the European Water Framework Directive. (2007, methodology): “All of these have focused upon the proportion of disturbance-sensitive taxa, being currently the AMBI index (Borja et al., 2000) one of the most widely used in European countries and WFD methodologies Intercalibration Working Groups (Borja et al., 2006c).”
The European Water Framework Directive at the age of 10: a critical review of the achievements with recommendations for the future. (2010, background): “There are several examples, both in coastal and transitional waters, in which recovery can take between 2 and 15 years after a pressure is removed (Borja et al., 2006, 2009b,d; Uriarte and Borja, 2009).”
Classifying Ecological Quality and Integrity of Estuaries (2011, methodology): “Although it has been shown that AMBI is reflective of dissolved oxygen conditions (Borja et al., 2006, 2009d) and thus reflects one of the eutrophication indicators, it would be an interesting exercise to apply the AMBI and other benthic analysis methods to the Barnegat Bay and Medway estuary and…”
Minho River tidal freshwater wetlands: threats to faunal biodiversity (2008, background): “In fact, there were improvements in the water quality of several aquatic ecosystems after the adoption of restoration actions (Eertman et al. 2002, Van den Bergh et al. 2005, Borja et al. 2006).”
Ecosystem impacts of hypoxia: thresholds of hypoxia and pathways to recovery (2011, background): “Polychaetes are known to be the group most tolerant to low oxygen concentrations, explaining their role as pioneers in recolonizing areas after hypoxic events (Rosenberg 1976, Arntz and Rumohr 1982, Lu and Wu 2000, Rosenberg et al 2002, Borja et al 2006, Lim et al 2006).”
