Abstract
Ecological processes are both influenced by bitic and abiotic factors. Substrate morphology and characteristics may also influence benthic decomposers abundances and distribution. Fractal dimension can give a measure of subtrates surface complexity and may also be related to both water turbulence and macroinvertebrates clinging. In this study the functional relationships among macroinvertebrates, bacteria diversity and abundances, the water chemical and physical parameters, the rocks, pebbles and stones numbers and dimension and fractal dimension of substrate were investigated in the river Sacco during sring season.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
