“…The analysis of the gradient length of the first axis of DCA indicates that it was smaller than 3.0 SD. Glińska-Lewczuk [28] suggests that in such cases the principal component analysis (PCA) is the most appropriate method in analysis and interpretation of complex correlations and a synthetic presentation of the obtained results. The PCA and DCA analyses were performed with Canoco 5.0 software [29].…”

Changes in trace element (TE) concentrations in surface water may be induced by both natural and anthropogenic factors [1-3]. Lakes are the main place of deposition of TEs, transported by rivers and surface runoff from areas surrounding the reservoirs [4, 5]. The crucial factor in changing the quality of surface water is TE mobility from bottom sediments of the lake, which in certain circumstances may be subject to re-release and migration to the water depth [6].

“…Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) on the macroinvertebrate data was done to judge the macroinvertebrate distribution pattern. If the gradient length of the first axis of DCA is greater than 3.0 SD, the macroinvertebrates were in unimodal rather than linear distribution and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) is appropriate, or else redundancy analysis (RDA) is suitable (Glińska-Lewczuk et al, 2016). To test the effect of explanatory variables which significantly accounted for the community variation, forward selection with 999 Monte Carlo permutations was used.…”

-The Big East Lake water network (BELWN), located in Wuhan city, China, is mainly composed of six lakes and isolated from the Yangtze river. At the background of restoring the hydrological connectivity between rivers and lakes, four season investigations were conducted during 2014-2015 to study the spatial distribution and seasonal dynamics of macroinvertebrate communities, explore their relationships with environmental factors, and forecast the change trends in assemblages in a long period after restoration measures. A total of 40 species were recorded, oligochaetes and chironomids dominated the communities. Season variation in density and biomass were distinct and the community differences in lakes related to the degrees of organic pollution. In comparison with the historical data, the species richness of mollusks in Donghu lake sharply decreased due to water pollution and the loss of diverse habitat. Concerning on the whole BELWN, the whole taxa recorded in our study was slightly fewer than the previous study. A new recorded species polychaete Nephtys sp. was first collected with an important ecological interest. As an urban lake system dominated by eutrophication, the water nutrients significantly affected the distribution of macroinvertebrates. According to the GAM models, the dominant species responded to environmental gradients with different response curves. After restoring the hydrological connectivity between rivers and lakes, the macroinvertebrate communities would change and the biodiversity would steadily increase with time. Additionally, the new recorded species Nephtys sp. would spread into the whole BELWN in the foresee future.Keywords: Big East Lake water network (BELWN) / macroinvertebrate communities / environmental factors / disconnected lake system / restoring hydrological connectivity Résumé -Les communautés de macroinvertébrés dans le réseau du Grand lac Est, ses relations avec les facteurs environnementaux. Le réseau du Grand lac Est (BELWN), situé dans la ville de Wuhan, en Chine, est principalement composé de six lacs isolés du fleuve Yangtze. Dans le cadre du rétablissement de la connectivité hydrologique entre les rivières et les lacs, quatre études ont été menées pendant la période 2014-2015 pour étudier la répartition spatiale et la dynamique saisonnière des communautés de macroinvertébrés, explorer leurs relations avec les facteurs environnementaux et prévoir les tendances des changements dans les assemblages à long terme après les mesures de restauration. Un total de 40 espèces a été enregistré. Les oligochètes et les chironomides ont dominé les communautés. La variation saisonnière de la densité et de la biomasse était nette et les différences entre lacs dans les communautés étaient liées au degré de pollution organique. Par rapport aux données historiques, la richesse en espèces de mollusques du lac Donghu a fortement diminué en raison de la pollution de l'eau et de la perte de divers habitats. En ce qui concerne l'ensemble du BELWN, le total des taxons rencontrés dans ...

“…Glińska-Lewczuk et al [25] evaluated the influence of habitat connectivity and local environmental factors on the distribution and abundance of functional fish groups in 10 floodplain lakes. Their results indicated that the composition and abundance of fish communities are determined by lake isolation gradient, physicochemical parameters, and water stage, suggesting that lateral connectivity between the main channel and floodplain lakes is of utmost importance.…”

Ecological monitoring and assessment is fundamental for effective management of ecosystems. As an introduction to this Special Issue, this editorial provides an overview of "Ecological Monitoring, Assessment, and Management in Freshwater Systems". This issue contains a review article on monitoring surface waters, and research papers on data management, biological assessment of aquatic ecosystems, water quality assessment, effects of land use on aquatic ecosystems, etc. The papers in this issue contribute to the existing scientific knowledge of freshwater ecology. They also contribute to the development of more reliable biological monitoring and assessment methods for sustainable freshwater ecosystems and ecologically acceptable decision-making policies, and establishment of practices for effective ecosystem management and conservation.
