Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Through a study in the Rahue River sub-basin of South Chile, the book explores the impact of human activities on epicontinental ecosystems, focusing on physicochemical parameters and benthic macroinvertebrates. These organisms serve as effective indicators of water quality due to their widespread presence, sedentary behavior, and the ease of sampling with low-cost equipment. The research offers valuable insights and tools for organizations managing the sub-basin, aiding in the development of recovery measures for the affected ecosystem.
