| Description | The study was conducted at the Nedvedicka River, which is a recipient of heated decontaminated mining water discharging from the last operating underground uranium mine in the Czech Republic.The water of the mining tributary differed not only in temperature, but also in pH, conductivity, and inorganic carbon (higher values) and oxygen and nutrients (lower values), from the water in the Nedvedicka River. This rather complex environmental alteration was most probably responsible for a) a lower abundance and number of species of clitellates at the downstream sites compared to the upstream, and b) a shift in the assemblage composition. |
