Assessing ecological status in karstic lakes through the integration of phytoplankton functional groups, morphological approach and environmental DNA metabarcoding

Assessing ecological status in karstic lakes through the integration of phytoplankton functional groups, morphological approach and environmental DNA metabarcoding

Phytoplankton is one of the key Biological Quality Elements within the Water Framework Directive, used to assess the ecological status of surface water bodies. Water samples for phytoplankton identification were collected from April to September at a total of eight sampling sites in all six Croatian...
