Popis | Many studies have investigated the vegetation and terrestrial fauna of post-mining spoil heaps, but little is known about aquatic macroinvertebrates in these areas, particularly at spring-fed habitats. We studied nine seepages (i.e. spring-fed habitats) located at two neighbouring spoil heaps in the Sokolov brown-coal basin (Czech Republic), characterised by basic water pH, calcium carbonate precipitation, high heavy metal and sulphate concentrations. |
