Ecology and morphology of Belgian fresh water fishes Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Checklist of the fresh and brackish water snails (Mollusca, Gastropoda) of Benin and adjacent West African ecoregions University of Antwerp
Currently no comprehensive checklist of fresh and brackish water gastropods from Benin exists, and those for adjacent West African areas are outdated. Yet, such checklists provide essential biodiversity information and a consistent taxonomic and nomenclatural framework for that biodiversity. Here a first checklist of the fresh and brackish water gastropods from Benin and adjacent West African ecoregions is presented, based on an extensive ...
Calibration of littoral diatoms to water chemistry in standing fresh waters (Flanders, lower Belgium) Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Relationships between littoral surface-sediment diatom assemblages and ambient limnological conditions were examined in 186 lentic fresh waters throughout lower Belgium (Flanders). Most of these waters were small, unstratified, alkaline and rich in nutrients. Using weighted-averaging techniques, robust and accurate transfer functions were developed for median pH-values ranging from 3.4 to 9.3 and dissolved inorganic carbon concentrations from -1 ...
Targeted and untargeted screening of multi-class antimicrobial drug residues with high resolution mass spectrometry in salt and fresh water ecosystems Ghent University
Effect of natural organic matter on cerium dioxide nanoparticles settling in model fresh water Ghent University
Comparison study on the water-to-biomass ratio in hydrothermal carbonization of fresh seaweed Ghent University
Upgrading wet biomass to char via hydrothermal carbonization is a promising method to produce valuable resources for adsorption of organic impurities. In this work, a fresh green seaweed, Ulva pertusa, was investigated to demonstrate the effects of pre-drying and pre-washing on the process and the hydrochar production. Surface moisture and bound moisture were found to affect this process. Hydrochar produced from fresh seaweed with additional ...
Include or exclude? A review on the role and suitability of aquatic invertebrate neozoa as indicators in biological assessment with special respect to fresh and brackish European waters University of Antwerp
This paper reviews published knowledge on how to deal with invasive species during biological quality assessments in European river systems for water management and assessments of ecological quality required, for example, by the European Water Frame Work Directive. The papers studied included international papers and some standards for water assessment. An overview of the current state of neozoa research showed that many different topics are ...
