Genus-level, trait-based multimetric diatom indices for assessing the ecological condition of rivers and streams across the conterminous United States
Taxonomic inconsistency in species-level identifications has constrained use of diatoms as biological indicators in aquatic assessments. We addressed this problem by developing diatom multimetric indices (MMIs) of ecological condition using genus-level taxonomy and trait-based autecological informat...
