Abstract
⺠We set out to study health status of lakes Sentiz and Chazas (León, NW Spain). ⺠Eco-exergy, emergy and eco-exergy-empower ratio quantify ecosystem health status. ⺠Eco-exergy-empower ratio reflects the perturbations better than the other indicators. ⺠We determine ecosystem services and sustainability from eco-exergy or work capacity. ⺠It is useful to apply thermodynamic holistic indicators for bio-invasion management.
