Overview

Assesses diatom diversity and distribution in an aquatic cave stream, suggesting it as a vital biodiversity reservoir.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the diversity, spatial distribution, and seasonal dynamics of diatom assemblages in an aquatic cave stream.
  • Samples were collected from six sites along the Ponorac Stream in May and November 2023.
  • Physical and chemical water parameters were measured at each sampling site.
  • Diatom taxa were identified and recorded, focusing on diversity and distribution.
  • A total of 148 diatom taxa from 54 genera were documented.
  • Diatom assemblages exhibited high taxonomic richness and α-diversity.
  • Ecological indices indicated generally high ecological status across sampling sites.
