Species Composition And Spatial Variation Of Benthic Diatoms At Intertidal Zone Under The Influence Of Environmental Parameters

Benthic diatoms play a significant role in the primary productivity and sediment dynamics of coastal and estuarine intertidal ecosystems. Thus, this study aims to determine the spatial distribution of benthic diatoms in intertidal flats from different environmental gradients. The spatial changes...
