| Notes | 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. Suggests that “the sediment diatom community is a strong candidate for use as an aquatic bioassessment tool in tidal wetlands…” (p.1029) |
