RT Journal Article ID 5ff6386c497e31f2 A1 Bukhtiyarova, L. N. T1 Bacillariophyta in biomonitoring of river ecosystems. Current state and prospects for their use JF International Journal on Algae JO IJA YR 2000 FD 2000-12-01 VO 2 IS 4 SP 40 OP 56 AB Recent results of the Bacillariophyta use in biomonitoring of lotic systems have been generalized. Their high indicatory qualities relative to different parameters of water environment and advantages over other water organisms in biomonitoring of water ecosystems are shown. The classification of Bacillariophyta communities as a theoretical and practical base for biomonitoring of ecosystems is considered for the first time. The ways of solving certain problems arising in classification of microscopic plant communities are discussed on the example of Bacillariophyta communities.
