Description
Book SynopsisThis book offers a comprehensive, unique and up-to-date exploration of diatom ecology spanning from fundamental molecular aspects to the intricate dynamics of metacommunities.
In recent years there has been a considerable increase in the amount of research devoted to diatom ecology, with a wide spectrum of approaches. This large amount of information, published in many different journals and books, makes it very difficult to keep up to date, both for the trained researcher and for students. Eduardo A. Morales (d. May 2023) had the original idea to assemble chapters on various subjects within diatom ecology. The questions he posed to potential contributors framed the current book consisting of 12 chapters.
- Are diatoms suitable tools for ecological restoration?
- What would be the features that make them reliable in this context?
- What makes diatoms ecologically successful?
- In an ecological sense, why is there such variability in diatom rep
