| Abstract: | Freshwater habitats in the Maltese Islands are not of widespread occurrence. The extent of such biotopes is limited by the spatial properties of the islands and by temporal restrictions resulting from biseasonal precipitation patterns. As such, natural freshwaters in the Maltese Islands are strictly ephemeral and generally occur as temporary pools maintained by cycles of precipitation and as intermittent streams that accumulate surface runoff in valley systems. |
