Periphyton is an important component of benthic communities and plays a crucial role in the functioning of microbial food webs. Because of a number of advantages, such as a short lifecycle, relative immobility, more rapid responses to environmental stress and anthropogenic impact than any metazoa, ease of sampling, availability of taxonomic\/molecular identification, and standardized methodologies for temporal\/spatial comparisons, there has, in recent decades, been an increased interest in periphyton as a tool in biological conservation in aquatic ecosystems. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45310070685847,"sku":"9780128010778","price":7535.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780128010778.webp?v=1769286951","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/periphyton-functions-and-application-in-environmental-remediation-9780128010778","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
