Method Step

Description

The sampling strategy was based on leaf pack technique. The leaves used as detritus were Phragmites australis being the most representative species of riparian flora and therefore widely distributed in the study area. Leaves were collected from the study site; the basal and apical parts of all leaves were cut off and only the central section was used. Before sampling, leaf packs (5 mm mesh size) were filled with 3.000 + 0.005 g of oven-dried leaves (60 °C, 72 h). Samplings were carried out from September 2003 to August 2004 in 9 sampling sites located in 7 water bodies of Brindisi area. For each sampling site, three leaf packs with leaves of Phragmites australis were placed. The packs were retrieved after 30 days of continuous submersion from each site and in 8 times placed in separate plastic containers and rapidly brought to the laboratory, where the leaves were gently washed with tap water to remove sediments and macroinvertebrate colonizers. All animals were identified to the genus level, and, whenever possible, to species level, counted, measured (body length) and their body mass determined.

Sampling

Study Extent

The sampling design was as follows: 8 times, 9 sampling sites and 3 leaf packs for sampling site.

Sampling Description

The sampling was performed from September 2003 to August 2004 in 9 sampling sites located in 7 water bodies of Brindisi area. For each sampling site, three leaf packs with leaves of Phragmites australis were placed. The packs were retrieved after 30 days of continuous submersion from each sampling site and for 8 times.
