Heavy shade presents serious challenges for primary producers and food—limited
herbivores in forest streams. In this study, we examined the response of periphyton and …

The influence of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on populations of microorganisms has been the
subject of serious investigation for at least the past 20–25 years. UVR that is applicable to …

The foremost feature of a diatom is the species-specific ornamentation of the silicon cell wall,
which is preserved and faithfully reproduced through the generations. If exposed to different …

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) can reduce the photosynthesis and growth of benthic
diatom communities in shallow freshwater. Nevertheless, greater amounts of algae …

The planet is currently going through a period of global climate change, the pace of which is
