Description:
First published 2000 in Field Studies vol 9. An identification guide to diatom genera of benthic habitats in rivers in Britain and Ireland. Identification goes to species level for the most common species. Diatom identification is challenging, but with practice it becomes easier to recognise the main characters. Notes on sampling and laboratory preparation are also provided, along with comments on the ecology and environmental preferences for many of the taxa described. Part the FSC’s AIDGAP series (Aids to Identification in Difficult Groups of Animals and Plants). The aim of AIDGAP series is to produce accessible keys suitable for non-specialists from age 16+. Although written by specialists, all AIDGAP guides go through field tests in draft form. As with all guides in the series, the Diatoms AIDGAP underwent extensive testing before publication, by beginners and specialists alike.
