At each site, aquatic macrofauna were sampled during two seasonal campaigns covering winter 2023 and summer 2024, using standardized net sweeps. For each event and site, organisms were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level, and described by life stage and a functional group label (e.g. water beetle larvae, mosquito larvae, fish, crayfish, tadpoles, snails, oligochaetes). Abundance is recorded as counts of individuals per taxon; when the sample was too large, only a known fraction of the material was sorted and total counts were extrapolated accordingly, with notes indicating “Sample too big” or, when no fauna was found, “Nothing”.

Therefore, assessing the current extent and state of European wetlands, their current and potential greenhouse gases (GHG) profile and their medium to long-term mitigation capacity through restoration, or other measures, are key priorities of the European Union to tackle climate change. Led by the University of Aveiro, the Horizon project RESTORE4Cs (Modelling RESTORation of wEtlands for Carbon pathways, Climate Change mitigation and adaptation, ecosystem services, and biodiversity, Co-benefits) will assess the role of restoration action on wetlands capacity in terms of climate change mitigation and a wide range of ecosystem services using an integrative socio-ecological systems approach.
