About this document

Epiphytic Diatom Communities in Iceland by Muh Fadlan Hikmatur R is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes a study that investigated epiphytic diatom communities on 10 species of seaweeds collected from the intertidal zone in Iceland. Erect growth forms made up about half of the diatom communities on average. Seaweeds with highly branched and articulated surfaces hosted more diatoms, mainly erect and motile forms, while flat thalli allowed growth of mainly erect diatoms. The distribution of epiphytic diatoms was affected by factors like light, hydrodynamics, salinity, nutrients, and inter
