12、 interstitial water or downwelling of surface water; the ecotonal nature of the hyporheic zone which provides important habitat for benthic taxa, specialist hyporheic organisms and groundwater fauna, including macroinvertebrates, meiofauna and microorganisms. Meiofauna includes microcrustaceans, rot
13、ifers and nematodes as well early instars of many aquatic insects. In this standard the hyporheic zone is defined as the spatio-temporally dynamic ecotone between the surficial benthic substrate and the underlying aquifer. Within the hyporheic zone, water, solutes and biota are exchanged with the st
14、ream above, the groundwater below and the saturated sediments lateral to the channel. The term “hyporheic zone” is applied to the physical habitat while the term “hyporheos” coined by Williams and Hynes in 1974 3 is used to describe the faunal community inhabiting it. Over the past few decades, the
15、importance of the hyporheic zone has been increasingly recognized, with the vertical dimension added to spatial concepts of lateral and longitudinal connectivity. Together with the temporal dimension this has created a four-dimensional understanding of river ecosystems 4, 5, 6. As the hyporheic zone
16、 is an ecotone between surface water and groundwater, abiotic conditions may reflect a transition between the two. Table 1 provides a general comparison of the physical characteristics of each environment. Table 1 Physical characteristics of typical groundwater and hyporheic environments compared wi

18、d for a better understanding of the interactions between surface water and groundwater when undertaking investigations in the field. As the ecotone between the two, the hyporheic zone plays a vital part in ecosystem functioning in many rivers, including a critical role in the flow of energy, cycling
19、 of nutrients and organic compounds, as well as pollution attenuation. The hyporheic zone contributes to overall river biodiversity. It also provides a nursery for young life-stages of some fish and invertebrates and a potential refuge for benthos during adverse environmental conditions, such as flo
20、oding, low flows, chemical pollution, stream-bed drying or freezing. The hyporheic zone may therefore enhance the recovery of the benthic community following disturbance. EN 16772:2016 (E) DIN EN 16772:2016-11 5 An increased interest in the hyporheic zone has resulted, in part, from international le
21、gislation, such as EC directives: the Habitats Directive 7, the Water Framework Directive 8, the Groundwater Directive 9 and the Nitrates Directive 10. Although investigations into the hyporheic zone are not explicit within these directives, they do require national regulatory authorities to adopt a
22、 more integrated approach to the management of river catchments as a whole. Consequently, an understanding of the hyporheic zone, including its functions and the potential threats to these, is vital in order to comply fully with the requirements of these directives. Investigations of the hyporheic z
23、one may also be needed more generally for catchment management, river restoration, site-based investigations or for research. Consequently, the purpose of any study should be carefully considered when selecting the most appropriate method for sampling the hyporheos, especially if the collection of w
24、ater quality and associated sediment data is also required. In addition, the methods described in this standard may require modification to reflect local conditions. EN 16772:2016 (E) DIN EN 16772:2016-11 6 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance on methods for sampling invertebrates in the
25、 hyporheic zone of wadable rivers. It describes each method, including details of the equipment involved and its use in the field. Guidance is given on developing a sampling strategy and selecting an appropriate survey technique for the purpose of investigation. NOTE Benthic macroinvertebrate sampli

38、Survey objectives The objectives of the survey should be clearly defined before selecting which method to use for sampling the hyporheic zone, because the suitability of each method varies according to the purpose of study. Table 2 summarizes each sampling method according to its suitability for par
39、ticular objectives. This includes consideration of: attributes and variations in hyporheic fauna, substrate and the interstitial environment; whether the method can be applied instream and/or in the riparian zone; whether data collected are fully quantitative or semi-quantitative. All methods can be
40、 used to describe diversity, taxon richness, abundance and biomass, recognizing their known limitations.

43、gation. Sampling site location may be influenced by pre-existing monitoring networks or previous investigations. The following should be considered: sampling method; number and location of sampling sites; number of replicates per site required to characterize site heterogeneity (e.g. upwelling and d
44、ownwelling, substrate characteristics); sampling frequency; sampling depth; seasonal variability; abiotic data requirements; spatial and temporal scale of investigation. Scale is important when examining the hyporheic zone, as various processes occur at different spatial scales. For example, at a st
45、ream-bed (patch) scale the size, shape, sorting and stability of unconsolidated material are the primary determinants of porosity and permeability. These factors have a major influence on community composition over relatively short distances and methods have been developed to address this 11. At a b
46、roader scale, lateral connectivity (e.g. between the riparian zone and out to the wider floodplain) is a key consideration. Hyporheic flow paths occur at multiple scales, from the stream bed to the catchment. EN 16772:2016 (E) DIN EN 16772:2016-11 10 Case studies are presented in Annex A, giving exa
47、mples of suitable sampling strategies for three different types of investigation. 5 Sampling methods 5.1 General This standard describes only those techniques that are suitable for use in wadable rivers; other approaches are available for sampling in deeper waters. Some techniques (e.g. freeze corin
48、g) require a recovery time after the equipment has been installed, allowing organisms to recolonize the sample area. Some techniques work better in fine-grained substrates while others can be used in coarser substrates. Surveyors should carry out a preliminary investigation of the substrates before
49、selecting an appropriate technique. Each method is described in the following sections while Table 3 compares their ease of use, costs, recovery time and the possibility of obtaining repeat samples. Further details on all of these methods can be found in the PASCALIS sampling manual 12 and the Hyporheic Handbook 13.
