phytoplanktons are the first bio- indicators of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. phytoplankton assemblage and aquatic ecosystems are always influenced by environmental factors therefore these environmental changes and threats must be understood in any ecosystem. phytoplankton are inexpensive and readily available bio- indicators. in the present study, phytoplankton were used to study the sefid ...

The relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functioning has been debated for decades, especially in relation to the "macroscopic" realm (higher plants and metazoans). Although there is emerging consensus that diversity enhances productivity and stability in communities of higher organisms; however, we still do not know whether these relationships apply also for communities of unice...

this study was carried out from june to october 2008 in nansi lake. based on the data collected from five sampling stations, phytoplankton taxonomic composition, abundance, temporal variations and spatial distribution were examined. about 94 species, including 48 species of chlorophyta, 22 species of bacillariophyta, and 1 water bloom causative species were identified. average phytoplankton div...

The potential of marine ecosystems to adapt to ongoing environmental change is largely unknown, making prediction of consequences for nutrient and carbon cycles particularly challenging. Realizing that biodiversity might influence the adaptation potential, recent model approaches have identified bottomup controls on patterns of phytoplankton diversity regulated by nutrient availability and seas...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive checklist on the composition and diversity of phytoplankton in the Sea of Oman and the Persian Gulf from 1979–2019 based on up-to-date, valid and accepted published research records many studies have been conducted on phytoplankton species in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman; however, there is not a comprehensive and complet...

under the contemporary scenario of global climate change and increasing coastal eutrophication, baseline studies of phytoplankton diversity and distribution in relation to habitat conditions constitute the first approach to evaluate potential shifts at the base of the food webs. here we present data of phytoplankton species composition and environmental variables in winter 2006 in a temperate ...

Phytoplankton assemblage and aquatic ecosystems are always influenced by environmental factors therefore these environmental changes and threats must be understood in any ecosystem.

Interactions between trophic levels during food web assembly can drive positive correlations in diversity between producers, consumers, and decomposers. However, the contribution of trophic interactions relative to local environmental factors in promoting species diversity is poorly understood, with many studies only considering two trophic levels. Here we examine correlations in diversity amon...

assessment of biodiversity and providing phytoplankton checklist of a water body can be used in all subsequent studies. such studies provide information on physical, chemical and biological conditions of aquatic ecosystems. the present study aimed to provide a phytoplankton checklist for the zerebar lake (kurdistan province, iran) and also investigate the distribution of phytoplankton community...
