Guidance standard for the routine sampling and pretreatment of benthic diatoms from rivers

BS EN 13946:2003 pdf free.Water quality – Guidance standard for the routine sampling and pretreatment of benthic diatoms from rivers. In general, cobbles are the preferred substratum for sampling, as these balance substratum stability (allowing diatom communities to develop) with manoeuvrability. Pebbles and boulders can also be used. At least five cobbles should be sampled. However, if cobbles are unavailable, […]
