The impacts of local and regional factors on the phytoplankton community dynamics in a temperate river, northern China

Knowledge of the phytoplankton community dynamics is fundamentally important for river ecological management. Disentangling the relative impacts of co-occurring factors is critical to understanding the community responses to environmental heterogeneity, as well as anthropogenic activities. Taking ph...
