Background Data: Untangling The Effects Of Multiple Human Stressors And Their Impacts On Fish Assemblages In European Running Waters

This dataset presents some backkground data from the EFI+ database. Related work addresses human stressors and their impacts on fish assemblages at pan-European scale by analysing single and multiple stressors and their interactions. Based on an extensive dataset with 3105 fish sampling sites, patterns of stressors, their combination and nature of interactions, i.e. synergistic, antagonistic and additive were investigated. Data were derived within the EU-project "Improvement and Spatial extension of the European Fish Index (EFI+)". EFI+, an EU FP6 research project from 2007-2009 was designed to gain new knowledge and to further develop and improve new biological assessment methods to meet needs of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Background data are available for boxplots and barplots shown in the related research article in STOTEN.本数据集提供了EFI+数据库的相关背景数据。相关研究聚焦泛欧洲尺度下的人为胁迫因子及其对鱼类群落的影响，通过解析单一、多重胁迫因子及其交互作用开展研究。本研究基于涵盖3105个鱼类采样点的大型数据集，对胁迫因子的分布模式、组合方式以及交互作用的本质（即协同、拮抗与加和效应）进行了探究。 本数据集源自欧盟项目《欧洲鱼类指数（European Fish Index, EFI+）的优化与空间拓展》。EFI+是2007-2009年实施的欧盟第六框架计划（EU FP6）研究项目，旨在获取全新认知，并进一步开发与优化新型生物评估方法，以满足《水框架指令（Water Framework Directive, WFD）》的应用需求。 本数据集包含STOTEN期刊相关研究论文中所用箱线图与柱状图的配套背景数据。
