The macroinvertebrate community and physical-chemical parameters were monitored in a naturally flooded quarry\ud
(Copparo, Ferrara, Italy) chosen as an experimental site within WARBO project for aquifer artificial recharge. The\ud
biotic indices showed low species richness, diversity and evenness. Some species were abundant while others were\ud
detected only in autumn. Through canonical correspondence analysis, community dynamics resulted affected by\ud
changes in physical-chemical parameters. Since the aquifer quality was still unsuitable for artificial recharge, an\ud
attempt was made to lower the wetland temperature by phytodepuration and fast-growing local trees. Water quality\ud
will be monitored until the aquifer becomes suitable for WARBO
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
