They found some interesting and enlightening differences between the different groups of diatom species collected.  {\textquotedblleft}The tidal channel benthic diatom community was most strongly correlated with variables related to human disturbance at all scales surrounding the wetland and not with any tidal channel water quality parameter, including salinity. . .  The sensitivity of the tidal creek benthic diatom assemblage to both wetland and landscape level factors indicates that it might be a useful bioindicator of human disturbance to tidal wetland ecosystems.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},

	note = {Tested responses of sediment diatom communities in tidal wetlands of Yaquina Bay to nitrogen addition in the summers of 2009 and 2010. Identified 88 diatom taxa in the area.  The four individual plots showed high species richness, of about 32-42 different species per plot.  A strong response to nitrogen addition was found.
