Water quality - Guidance for the identification and enumeration of benthic diatom samples from rivers and lakes
This European Standard specifies methods for the identification and enumeration of relative proportions of
diatom taxa on prepared slides and of data interpretation relevant to assessments of water quality in rivers
and lakes. It is suitable for use with indices and assessment methods based on the relative abundance of
taxa. The methods for identification and enumeration may also be applied to the study of benthic diatoms in
other habitats provided that data interpretation methods appropriate to these habitats are used.
