Details

The overall objectives of this study were to evaluate the Mean Trophic Rank (MTR) as a robust transportable system for assessing the trophic status of rivers using aquatic macrophytes and to compare this with other biological methods of assessing the trophic status of rivers (principally the Diatom Quality Index - DQI).
