Macroinvertebrate community and chemistry of the most atmospherically acidified streams in the Czech Republic

Abstract

We performed a comparative study of strongly acidified mountain streams covering 10 sites in the Czech Republic in the season 1999/2000. The aim of the study was to determine how acidification influenced macroinvertebrate community structure within a rel
