For running water, especially streams of lower order, experimental studies were carried out on ecosystem functioning, with special reference on nutrient retention, in streams under different pollution conditions. Besides this, the effects of small dams on both physic-chemical conditions and biotic communities of small rivers were studied. Still waters of small size were investigated. Studies on relationships between macrobenthonic community and environmental conditions in that habitat were made in order to elucidate the role of ponds in maintaining the invertebrate biodiversity. From original data collected in previous studies, a model linking the alternative stable concept and pond management was defined.
