DI (density index). Density of marine macroinvertebrates as indicator of environmental status

Abstract

DI (density index) er en ny indeks for individtetthet. DI er spesielt utviklet med tanke på tilstandsklassifisering av individfattig fauna. Indeksene for artsmangfold og ømfintlighet fungerer da av og til dårlig, fordi de kan styres av tilfeldigheter i de små datasettene. Fattig fauna finnes særlig ved dårlige oksygenforhold, eller ved svært kraftig industriforurensning. Ekstremt høye individtettheter av tolerante arter tyder på påvirkning av organisk belastning, vanlig nær renseanlegg og matfiskanlegg. DI signaliserer også dette. Det er fastsatt grenseverdier for DI mellom de enkelte tilstandsklassene. DI inngår i den reviderte veilederen for tilstandsklassifisering (Veileder 02:2013).

DI (density index) is a new index for fauna density. DI was specially developed for classifying status of low-density faunas. Indices for diversity and sensitivity in those cases may function poorly, due to accidental fauna composition implied by scarcity of data. Low-density faunas especially occur at sites with depleted oxygen, or strong industrial pollution. Abnormally high densities of tolerant species indicate influence from organic pollution, common near municipal or aquaculture plants. DI signalizes abnormally high as well as abnormally low densities. Border values between status classes for DI are defined. DI is included in the revised Norwegian classification system 02:2013.
