Comparison of Relative and Absolute Abundance and Biomass of Freshwater Phytoplankton Taxa Using Metabarcoding and Microscopy

ABSTRACT Phytoplankton is the basis of the food web and an indicator of environmental change in aquatic ecosystems. Phytoplankton assessment uses microscopy, which estimates the composition, absolute abundance and biomass of taxa, and metabarcoding, which estimates the composition, high richness and...
