Diatoms from the Congo and Zambezi Basins – Methodologies and identification of the genera

Boek - Boek

Diatom research has historically been well established in Central Africa but more commonly directed towards the phytoplankton of large bodies of standing water. Recently there has been considerable international research interest on using diatoms as indicators of water quality. Usually attached diatoms originating from rivers and streams are used for this purpose. Diatom taxonomy has undergone considerable changes the last 3 decades with many new diatom genera being established, these diatom genera are ecologically relevant in terms of establishing water quality conditions. This volume sets out to introduce researchers to the latest concepts in collection and preparation methodology as well as diatom taxonomy and nomenclature. This is achieved by illustrating and discussing methodological concepts, providing a fully illustrated glossary and illustrating, by a variety of means, the most common diatom genera occurring n the Congo and Zambezi catchment region.
