An introduction to the MARS project

The MARS project (Managing aquatic ecosystems and water resources under multiple stress) has now been running since February, and we’ve followed its early progress on this blog. This month the first academic article introducing the project has been published in Science of the Total Environment (link here).

Written by project leader Daniel Hering and a number of other MARS researchers, the article describes how the European Union project will investigate how multiple stresses affect freshwater ecosystems across Europe, and how policies to better protect them might be designed.
