Recognition of Patterns of Benthic Diatom Assemblages within a River System to Aid Bioassessment
Benthic algae, especially diatoms, are commonly used to assess water quality in rivers. However, algal-based assessments are challenging at the river system scale because longitudinal variation in physical habitat conditions may obscure algal responses to changes in water quality. In the present stu...
