Examination of phytoplankton’s performance to abiotic condition changes as a water quality indicator
Phytoplankton can be bioindicators to assess water quality in freshwater ecosystems. In this study, phytoplankton biomass responses to temperature, sunlight, water body size, and water body connectivity were evaluated to justify their sensitivity as the water quality indicator. 65434 observations from LAGOS-NE were analyzed to show the correlation between phytoplankton biomass and abiotic factors.
