Community composition of zooplankton
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| ID | Eco_CC_com_zoop_FW |
| Realm | Freshwater |
| EBV class | Community composition |
| EBV name | Community composition of zooplankton |
| Step in identification process | Internal review process |
| Definition | Composition of zooplankton in the European catchments and rivers network system (ECRINS), as measured by the Ecological Quality Ratio (EQR) or based on presence-absence or (relative) abundance of indicator taxa |
| Metric | (Relative) abundance of zooplankton as sampled for the WFD or, if that is not available, the Ecological Quality Ratio (EQR) of zooplankton in the European catchments and rivers network system (ECRINS), expressed as a numerical value between zero (low) and one (high), quantifying the ecological status of zooplankton community composition and its deviation from a reference condition. The metric describes the deviation from natural zooplankton communities. |
| Spatial resolution unit | ECRINS spatial units between fundamental catchment units and L2 |
| Temporal resolution unit | 1 to 3 years |
| Entity | Lake zooplankton species with indicator value, as well as taxa without indicator value (at the level to which they are identified) as defined in the Water Framework Directive Intercalibration Technical Reports (Part 1, Rivers; Part 2, Lakes). |
