Abstract:Diatoms are a globally successful and eukaryotic photosynthetic group with an ornamented silica external wall. The relationship between their thecal diversity and habitat means that diatoms can be used as bioindicators to characterize the aquatic environment. To estimate the distribution and diversity of diatom communities during winter in South Korean coastal waters, we collected phytoplankton samples from 114 coastal sites. We applied the unweighted pair-group technique using the arithmetic averages clusteri… Show more
