Benthic diatoms of Mekong River and its tributaries in northern and north-eastern Thailand and their application to water quality monitoring

Biomonitoring of benthic diatoms was performed to assess the water quality of Mekong River and its tributaries in northern and north-eastern Thailand. Fourteen sampling sites along the river and its tributaries were investigated. Two hundred and fifty-two species in 53 genera of diatoms were recorde...
