The possible association between selected sediment characteristics and the occurrence of benthic macroinvertebrates in a minimally affected river in South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)Forty-two families of which the vast majority associated with particles >2000 µm were found. Sediment particle sizes <2000 µm had a detrimental effect on biodiversity. The highest biodiversity was recorded at sites ...
