| Description | Although taxonomy or generally biological determination is unavoidable indication component in most of ecological risk assessment studies, its implementation in standard methodical guidelines is often limited by complicated struc-ture of biological communities. The species richness thus increases cost of the determination as well as requirements for experts and time. Our aim here is to document feasibility of optimizing reduction of taxonomic units that are necessary to guarantee still representative and safe scenario of risk assessment studies. This analysis should ensure i) acquisition of informa-tion on relationship between the communities and their environment, ii) decreased time and financial costs paid for taxonomic determination, iii) prevention of wrong determination with no relevance to the assessed situation. |
