Phytoplankton is an important primary producer of the estuarine ecosystem, which is
essential for the biogeochemical cycle of water elements and nutrient transfer. The Pearl …

An investigation of the waters around Macau collected 43 phytoplankton species belonging
to 29 genera and 5 phyla, including 32 species from 22 genera of Bacillariophyta, 7 species …

Since the serial discontinuity concept (SDC) of rivers is proposed, few studies have tested it
in a highly fragmented river ecosystem. In this study, environmental factors, phytoplankton …
