Abstract

The article focuses on the research project Standardisation of River Classifications (STAR). The project is framework method for calibrating different biological survey results against ecological quality classifications. The aims of STAR were to develop methodologies, tools and background information to assess rivers throughout Europe. The project has generated results over a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from river typologies and new methodologies for assessing the condition of rivers using macrophytes to the uncertainty of assessment approaches.
