Previous studies showed there is insufficient information available about public perceptions of high quality rivers. Does the public translates correctly the health of a river in ecosystem services? The main aims of this study were to analyze the public perception of local residents in Romania on the river-related ecosystem services, based on a closed ended items survey, and to compare these responses to the scientific knowledge by a canonical correspondence analysis. In secondary, as the survey was applied on students in Geography and Environmental Sciences, we aimed to evaluate their knowledge on the subject of river-related ecosystem services. Our respondents identified a low variety of river-related ecosystem services and didn't discriminate between natural versus modified river sites and good versus moderate ecological quality. As examples, the water supply and biodiversity production were top responses for all categories of river sites. It appeared that ecosystem services were poorly known and understood when compared to the scientific comprehension. We concluded on a lack of knowledge on ecohydrological and hydroclimatic processes of the surveyed students. Improve environmental education could be the key to better translate the river health in ecosystem services, therefore to value the good ecological status.

在生态系统服务中转化河流的生态质量:罗马尼亚公众的看法

先前的研究表明,关于公众对优质河流的看法尚缺乏足够的信息。公众是否在生态系统服务中正确地翻译了河流的健康状况?这项研究的主要目的是在封闭项目调查的基础上,分析罗马尼亚当地居民对与河流有关的生态系统服务的看法,并通过规范对应分析将这些反应与科学知识进行比较。其次,由于这项调查是针对地理和环境科学专业的学生,​​我们旨在评估他们对与河流有关的生态系统服务这一主题的知识。我们的受访者发现与河流相关的生态系统服务种类繁多,没有区分自然河与改良河以及生态质量与中等。例如,水供应和生物多样性生产是所有类别河水站点的头等大事。与科学理解相比,似乎生态系统服务知之甚少。我们的结论是,对被调查学生的生态水文和水文气候过程缺乏了解。改善环境教育可能是在生态系统服务中更好地转化河流健康,从而珍视良好生态状况的关键。
