Biogeographical characterisation of phytoplankton assemblages in high altitude, and high latitude European lakes
Phytoplankton species composition and diversity, geographic distribution, biomass and dominance, and their driving variables were investigated in a set of high altitude (alpine) and high latitude (subarctic) lakes located in the Alps, the Rila Mountains and in Finnish Lapland. The 138 lakes, extensi...
