- •
We analysed the effects of organic pollution in mountain streams.
- •
We used functional and structural indicators in pools, runs and at reach scale.
- •
Most indicators differed in their behavior when exposed to high levels of pollution.
- •
Similar behavior in pools and runs, while effects more easily detected at reach scale.
- •
Combining structural and functional indicators helps understanding pollution effects.
