Comparison of Sampling Methods for Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Forested Wetlands

Forest wetlands are biodiversity hotspots that perform functions of vital ecological importance, but they are among the world's most threatened ecosystems. Due to their high diversity of habitats and species, the study of their benthic macroinvertebrate communities is challenging, and there is...
