Phytoplankton alpha diversity indices response the trophic state variation in hydrologically connected aquatic habitats in the Harbin Section of the Songhua River

Abstract The relationship between biodiversity and ecological functioning is a central issue in freshwater ecology, but how this relationship is influenced by hydrological connectivity stress is still unknown. In this study we analyzed the dynamic of the phytoplankton alpha diversity indices and the...
