Assessment of ecological integrity is the basis for sustainable management of the ecosystem
services lakes provide. Periphyton is used in stream assessment, but lake assessment is …

Climate change and human activities may alter the structure and function of boreal
peatlands by warming waters and changing their hydrology. Diatoms can be used to assess …

Cold subarctic pond ecosystems will be threatened due to the increase in global
temperatures. Therefore, it is important to gain more knowledge on how their biota may …

Current fixed-count enumeration methods for benthic diatoms are likely inadequate for most
research and monitoring objectives. These methods underestimate taxa richness and may …

A large number of diatom-based classification systems have been developed worldwide in
recent years. These new systems, together with the oldest, emerged on the need to assess …

The diatoms are one of the most important groups of organisms for biomonitoring studies. In
Turkey, most previous applications of diatoms to water quality monitoring have focused on …

In a study of diatoms from ten springs and five streams of Türkmen Mt. we identified over 300
diatom species, 59 of which are among the most commonly reported diatoms from Turkey …

We used variation partitioning to evaluate significance of local environment, spatial structure
and hydrological connectivity in the diatom community variation in phytoplankton and …

Two methods of quantifying diatoms were compared:(i) by counting valves, and (ii) by simple
assignment of individual species to a seven-point scale according to their coverage on a …

Aim The aim of this study was to inventory the diatom species of order Surirellales present in
the surface sediments of tropical reservoirs (São Paulo State, Brazil) and to correlate their …
