Information
Ecological parameter: indicator taxon
Parameter group: habitat related parameters
Explanation:
The parameter provides 4 assessment categories according to Schaumburg et al. (2012). The taxa are divided into species that are sensitive to certain types of running waters to species indicating bad conditions.

Type of assignment: presence/absence assignment system (including running water type information)
