Diversity of algae in wetlands

Algae samples were collected from unimpacted wetlands from 2003 to 2006 as part of a DOC-funded programme aimed at increasing knowledge of the diversity of small aquatic organisms in wetlands. Sample collection was from defined water bodies, and samples comprised algae-covered plants (i.e., epiphytic algae) or small cores of surface sediment.

2003年至2006年间，研究人员从未受干扰的湿地采集藻类样本。此项工作隶属于一项由DOC资助的研究计划，该计划旨在增进学界对湿地小型水生生物多样性的认知。样本采集自预先划定的水体，所获样本包括藻类覆盖的植物（即附生藻类（epiphytic algae））或表层沉积物小型岩心样品。
