Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The influence of a coastal power station thermal discharge on spatial variability of meiobenthic and macrobenthic community abundances in the Gulf of Follonica (Western Mediterranean) was investigated using Beyond BACI designs in September 1996. Analysis of benthic communities showed that heated effluent seemed not to influence assemblage structure or the spatial distribution of the study taxa, abundance and variability of the benthic assemblages either did not exhibit significant differences between impact and control locations or the control locations were as different from each other as they were from the impacted location. We conclude that the assemblage abundances in the impacted location were within the range of spatial variability encountered naturally on the western side of the Gulf of Follonica. This research emphasises the importance of including more than one control in any study of a potential impact.
