| Short description: |
This sampling manual is published within the framework of the European project PASCALIS. The project PASCALIS addresses a problem of growing concern in Europe, i.e. the biodiversity and ecosystem aspects of groundwater conservation. The main goal of this project is to establish a rigorous and detailed protocol for assessing groundwater biodiversity and to develop operational tools for its conservation. Knowledge on the distribution of groundwater animals in southern Europe is presently being organized in a large database and represented on maps. In addition, groundwater biodiversity is being surveyed at 6 selected regions in Europe following a standardized sampling procedure. Most taxonomic groups inhabiting a wide range of groundwater habitats are considered. The present manual provides a detailed description of the standard protocol that is used to assess groundwater biodiversity in the selected regions. This manual is made available below so that the project PASCALIS benefits for multiple end-users including scientists, public and civil society, groundwater managers, and policy makers.
