The macroinvertebrate fauna of the Młynne stream (Polish Carpathians) in the aspect of the bed load transport and water quality

Abstract

The qualitative composition of the bottom sediments and the bed load and suspended load transport along the mountain stream were presented. The studies were carried on the Młynne stream in Gorce (Polish Carpathians). The streams flows partially in the natural river-bed and partially in the regulated with rapids. The stream bed load is accumulated in the reservoir up to the check dam and is qualitatively different from the load deposited at the bars. The taxonomic richness of the Młynne stream is a little bigger compared with the other investigated mountain and sub-mountain streams, but lesser compared with bigger rivers. The number of taxa on the natural reaches is more than double than on the regulated ones, with more taxa of high environmental demands and high values of the BMWP-PL index. The paper brings up the question of the environmental friendly technical solutions in different human activities in the sub-mountain and mountain river valleys, advantageous for humans and the river biological diversity (or resistance for negative environmental factors) as well.
