The reponse of epilithic diatom assemblages to sewage pollution in mountain streams of the Czech Republic
Original language description
As a consequence of sewage pollution, oligo- to mesotraphentic taxa were outcompeted by pollution tolerant taxa. However, pollution had no significant influence on diatom diversity, which was similar at sites both upstream and downstream of the outflows.In this study, diatom assemblages performed well as indicators of sewage pollution, and biomonitoring proved to be a useful tool in the detection of environmental stress in mountain streams. Overall, the response of diatom assemblages showed that an increase of recreational activities might significantly alter the ecological status of these ecosystems.
