Assessment of ecosystem health status using benthic diversity as tools in coastal sediments off the South West Coast, India
The southwest coast of India is densely populated and experiences a wide range of natural and anthropogenic pressures. The diversity of macro and meiobenthos was documented in order to assess the ecosystem health of an anthropogenically impacted coastal ecosystem for the first time along the southwe...
