Abstract
In the 20th century the utilisation of natural resources, the emission of pollutants and the degradation of landscape has increased beyond a critical level. Only during the last two decades has the predictive ability of environmental sciences gained strength and become the basis for modern conservation and environmental management procedures. This is especially true for aquatic ecology, where a series of new concepts and theories arose (e.g. the biomanipulation concept Shapiro et. al. (1975); role of land/water ecotones — Naiman et al. (1988); river continuum concept — Van-note et al. (1980); flood pulse concept — Junk et al. (1989)).
