Diatom and algal based matrices were used to develop a multimetric index used to categorise the environmental condition of stream sites into four urban groups: (1) Streams in forested catchments with good to excellent ecological integrity and \u0026gt; lOkm from the estuary (2) Streams receiving estuarine water with partial stream degradation (3) Streams in proximity to agricultural land with moderate to severe stream degradation and 5-1Okm from the estuary (4) Streams in proximity to industrial sites with moderate to severe stream degradation and\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47581676306583,"sku":"9783639280678","price":7302.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639280678.webp?v=1774920821","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/diatoms-as-indicators-of-water-quality-in-urban-streams-9783639280678","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
