Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires river assessment systems based on benthic invertebrates. The AQEM project is developing, at a European scale, such a methodology, based on a comparison of communities of reference streams and degraded streams. The project is focussing on three main impact types: morphological degradation, organic pollution and acidification. This paper presents the outline of the AQEM project with special emphasis on: - an overview of assessment systems with benthic invertebrates presently applied in Europe; - an overview of stream typology approaches in Europe; - the selection process of the stream types investigated in AQEM; - the criteria used to select reference sites; - the design of the sampling programme; - the microhabitat-based sampling method applied in AQEM; - the links and possibilities of integration between AQEM and existing assessment systems.

Rámcová směrnice o vodách vyžaduje hodnocení říčních systémů. které je založené na makrozoobentosu. Projekt AQEM rozvíjí v evropském měřítku metodologii, ualoženou na srovnání společenstev referenčních a ovlivněných toků. Projekt se zaměřuje na 3 hlavvní typy ovlivnění: morfologické, organické znečištění a acidifikaci. Tento článek představuje obsah projektu se speciálním důrazem na přehled v Evropě v současnosti používaných metod hodnocení podle makrozoobentosu, přehled typologických přístupů, aplikovaných v Evropě, výběr typů toků pro sledování v projektu, kriteria pro výběr referenčních lokalit, návrh odběrového programu - odběr vzorků z mikrohabitatů, vazby a možnosti propojení mezi AQEM a existujícími metodami.
