      <gmd:abstract>
        <gco:CharacterString>Stream benthic macroinvertebrates have been collected for a period of 8 consecutive years (2010-2017, from April to September, during the glacial melting) along a longitudinal transect of the Saldur stream, a near pristine glacier-fed stream located in South Tyrol, Italy (46°N, 10° E), part of the International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) network (site code: LTER_EU_IT_100).
Organisms were collected through Surber samplings (0.0506 squared metres, mesh size 500 µm) in 3 sites at different elevation and distance from the glacial source: Saldur_1 (2,030 m a.s.l.; 4.962 km), Saldur_2 (2,016 m a.s.l.; 5.325 km), Saldur_3 (1,645 m a.s.l.; 11.123 km).</gco:CharacterString>
