Diatom, chrysophyte and protozoan distributions along a latitudinal transect in Fennoscandia
Diatoms, chrysophyte scales and cysts, and the siliceous plates of thecoamoebae were studied from the surface sediments of 20 freshwater habitats in Fennoscandia The study sites are distributed along a latitudinal transect extending from southern Finland to northern Norway, spanning boreal forest th...
