Abstract excerpt
Population responses of a planktonic freshwater diatom, Asterionella formosa Hassal, to the hydrodynamic anthropic disturbances were studied at the landscape scale, along a series of nine reservoirs, for a period of 18 months. The analysis of biotic descriptors as cell abundance, cell length and architecture has shown a strong morphological plasticity of this diatom. The morphological variability of A. formosa in...
