Beta-diversity and stressor specific index reveal patterns of macroinvertebrate community response to sediment flushing

Beta-diversity and stressor specific index reveal patterns of macroinvertebrate community response to sediment flushing

Anthropogenic increase of fine sediment loading is one of the main pressures for rivers worldwide. Particularly, Alpine streams are increasingly facing this issue due to sediment flushing operations from hydropower reservoirs, aimed at recovering storage for preserving electricity generation. Althou...
