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.
