Determining biological water quality
Biological water quality assessment based on diatom composition
The composition of diatom communities is strongly influenced by external factors such as water quality and water temperature. This makes these single-celled algae excellent bioindicators to monitor the water quality of surface waters. – mention that MeiseBG has extensive expertise in diatom taxonomy, which is used to analyse diatom communities for the Flemish Environment Agency (VMM).
