Does Microbial and Faunal Pattern Correspond to Dynamics in Hydrogeology and Hydrochemistry? Comparative Study of Two Isolated Groundwater Ecosystems in Münsterland, Germany
Abstract:The objective of this study was to assess the temporal and spatial variability of aquatic invertebrates and microbial parameters (biomass and activity) with environmental data in springs, and to determine the impact of key parameters on the ecological situation of a groundwater system. Eight springs in the two study areas of Baumberge and Schöppinger Berg (W-NW of Münster, North Rhine Westphalia, Germany) were sampled at three sampling campaigns between 2018 and 2019. Physicochemical parameters of the spring s… Show more
