A MODIFICATION OF THE BIOTIC INDEX OF ORGANIC STREAM POLLUTION TO REMEDY PROBLEMS AND PERMIT ITS USE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
The biotic index of the arthropod fauna of streams is modified by limiting to ten the number of individuals in each taxon used in its calculation. This redu~s detrimental effects on the index of… Expand
