“…In this regard, DNA metabarcoding and high-throughput sequencing are being applied to diatom biomonitoring, improving data quantity and resolution (Maitland et al 2020 ). Overall, diatom-based indices, either based on DNA metabarcoding techniques or traditional microscopy-based methods, have advanced the state-of-the-art in river biomonitoring using diatoms as indicators of water quality (Goldenberg-Vilar et al 2020 ).…”

Diatoms are commonly used in environmental assessments to detect pollution and eutrophication. The specific pollution sensitivity index (SPI) is one of the most frequently used indices, which assigns scores to diatom taxa based on their sensitivity to pollution. The study analyzed diatom communities in the Duero River basin in Spain to examine the relationship between SPI scores and various limnological variables. A GLM model showed that phosphates, nitrites, and water temperature were the main factors explaining SPI variability. The study also reviews previous results using SPI for water quality monitoring in different world regions, highlighting the role of nutrients in general as major drivers of SPI values worldwide. Overall, the findings reinforce the reliability of SPI as a metric for biological monitoring in various watercourses.
