Macroinvertebrate metrics and lipid profiles as potential indicators of land use influence in a high altitude tropical highland stream (Sagana River Basin, Kenya)
(Elsevier, 2024)
Land use practices near river ecotones result in numerous inputs of terrestrial materials into the
river ecosystem. While macroinvertebrates population metrics is widely used in monitoring
water quality changes, including ...
