Development and testing of the phytoplankton biological integrity index (P-IBI) in dry and wet seasons for Lake Gehu

Taking Lake Gehu located in the Yangtze River Delta as the research object, the phytoplankton community and environmental variables at 18 sampling sites in Lake Gehu were monitored and investigated during the dry season (March) and the wet season (July) of 2020. On this basis, the phytoplankton biol...
