An influence of mesohabitat structures (pool, riffle, and run) and land-use pattern on the index of biological integrity in the Geum River watershed

Abstract: Background: Previous studies on the biological integrity on habitat and landuse patterns demonstrated ecological stream health in the view of regional or macrohabitat scale, thus ignored the mesoscale habitat patterns of pool, riffle, and runs in the stream health analysis. The objective of this study was to analyze influences on the mesohabitat structures of pool, riffle, and run reaches on the fish guilds and biological integrity in Geum-River Watershed. Results: The mesohabitat structures of pool, riffle, a… Show more

“…Generally speaking, transparency (Secchi depth) is influenced by watercolor, turbidity and nutrients [41][42][43]. Based on our MLR, ANN and SVM modeling approach, in different zones and season, there are three most important factors, which influence the Secchi depth in Imha Reservoir.…”

“…The morphology of riffle-pool sequences is considered as a fundamental process of channel adjustments in both vertical and planform dimensions [26][27][28][29][30]. Furthermore, riffle-pool morphology is also important in terms of mesoscale habitats, as different physical conditions would determine different habitat type [31,32]. Human activities, such as channelization or dredging, could modify the riffle-pool forms [33].…”

“…Metric scores of 1, 3, or 5 were assigned to each of the raw metric values after the RBP approach of the U.S. EPA. Each metric and criteria characteristics have been described previously [17,34]. These scores were then summed to obtain a site-specific model value that ranged from 8 to 40, and categorized with four ranks (excellent, A, 36-40; good, B, 26-35; fair, C, 16-25; and poor, D, 8-15) to be used.…”
