Ecological impact assessment of irrigation dam in the Mekong Delta using intertidal nematode communities as bioindicators Ghent University
Impact assessment of local land use on ecological water quality of the Guayas river basin (Ecuador) Flanders Marine Institute Ghent University
Extensive anthropogenic activities including land conversion have been taking place in the Guayas river basin (Ecuador) due to increasing population growth. Land use changes are considered one of the key sources affecting the ecological water quality of the Guayas river basin. Therefore, we investigated the effect of land use on the ecological water quality both within direct vicinity and within a distance of 200 m from the sampling sites. We ...
Modelling the ecological impact of discharged urban waters upon receiving aquatic ecosystems: a tropical lowland river case study: city Cali and the Cauca river in Colombia Ghent University
The Cauca river is one of most severe cases of pollution for domestic and industrial wastewater discharges in Colombia, principally when it crosses the industrial cities of Cali and Yumbo. The rapid urbanization and major economic development in the Cauca river´s geographical valley has led to dramatic degradation of the environment and increased health risks due to inefficient processing of the increased pollutant load effluents and solid ...
Application of decision trees to analyze the ecological impact of invasive species in Polder lakes in Belgium Ghent University
Polder lakes in Belgium are stagnant waters that were flooded by the sea in the past. Over the years, the salinity of these systems decreased. Several of these systems are colonized by invasive species (often related to fish stocking). The aim of this study was to analyze the ecological impact of invasive macroinvertebrates on native species and to assess to what extend physical-chemical variables affected the presence of invasive species. For ...

Strength development of concrete balancing production requirements and ecological impact Ghent University
The effective production of concrete structures requires adequate control of strength development in order to realise the scheduled production cycles. Demoulding of elements can take place only when sufficient strength is gained and the production cycle has to be maintained with seasonal changes of temperature. The use of Portland Cement promotes high early age strengths, but comes with a relative high impact on the environment since ...
