A comparative study of two methods for measuring biofilm respiration, which is an indirect method to assess the intensity of processes in river ecosystems and their self-cleaning ability, was presented at international scientific conference. At the same time the results of testing the impact of grain size composition on the river bed biofilm metabolism was presented, which showed the importance of geomorphology for self-cleaning processes in the river.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 3715407A new aproach in the analysis and interpretation of data describing the processes in rivers and river basins was presented to specific audience that deals with biogeochemical studies of water systems. Hierarchical relationships (level of the river basin, level of the river reach) and the interaction between stressors in relation to the river biofilm activity were analyzed using advanced machine learning methods.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 3622223Based on our experiences in Idrijca River catchment, in this invited lecture among others issues related to the need for harmonized methodological approaches related to characterization and identification of contaminated sites as well human and ecosystems risks were addressed and which are especially needed for the effective implementation of Minamata Convention.
