Using different epilithic-diatom assemblage metrics for an ecological characterization of the shores of Lake Garda
It has been proved that littoral diatoms provide a useful marker for detecting localised changes resulting from uneven anthropogenic disturbances or intermittent releases of sewage along the shorelines of lakes. This study tested the spatial resolution at which this general observation occurs, by se...
