| This is the first almost complete hydrobiological monograph of a water-course in a low altitude Mediterranean coastal drainage basin. Through knowledge of the hydrological and physicochemical peculiarities as well as an analysis of the biocoenoses, an ecological zonation of the river is established. The Argens is only 114 km long; it rises from a large karstic spring at an altitude of 270 m. By all its general features (topography, hydrology, geology, climate) it represents a good example of a Mediterranean river. Eleven stations have been investigated. Fifteen physicochemical parameters and 174 species of organisms have been taken into account. The Argens carries relatively cool waters (summer temperatures seldom exceeding 20 °C) which are well oxygenated... |
