Effects of Temperature on Vegetated vs Unvegetated Rivers 🌡️🌿

This lecture delves into the effects of temperature on river ecosystems, contrasting vegetated and unvegetated sections. It covers field studies on macrophyte buffering capacity and ecosystem metabolism, alongside controlled flume experiments utilising advanced sensors and temperature controls. Participants will gain an understanding of ecological sampling, including water parameters and nutrient dynamics, and learn about experimental setups with species representative of central European...
