The AQEM Multimetric System for the Southern Italian Apennines: Assessing the Impact of Water Quality and Habitat Degradation on Pool Macroinvertebrates in Mediterranean Rivers
TL;DR: The assessment module based on aquatic macroinvertebrates inhabiting depositional areas of rivers only shows a good comparability with the standard Italian method presently in use and might thus be easily applied for river sites classification according to the Water Framework Directive in southern Italy.

The STAR common metrics approach to the WFD intercalibration process: Full application for small, lowland rivers in three European countries
TL;DR: Class boundaries of three European assessment systems based on macroinvertebrates were compared and harmonized, with a general discussion of the options used to compare boundaries based on the ICMi and their potential for harmonization.

Characterising Hydromorphological Features of Selected Italian Rivers: A Comparative Application of Environmental Indices
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of different methods of river habitat assessment and their respective indices in a series of sample sites in Italy were evaluated using the EU AQEM project with the aim of combining the macroinvertebrate information with that achieved by investigating the hydromorphological characteristics of the river ecosystem as well as the surrounding landscape features.

TL;DR: The impact of bank and channel modification on ecological status was investigated and the tested benthic metrics, especially those based on abundance data, showed legible differences among MRT groups, highlighting the importance of riparian zone management as an opportune, achievable prospect in the restoration of Mediterranean temporary streams.

Macroinvertebrate metrics responses to morphological alteration in Italian rivers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the responses of benthic metrics to morphological impairment, with emphasis on the STAR_ICM index, legally required for macroinvertebrate-based ecological status assessment in Italy.
