Freshwater phytoplankton
Freshwater phytoplankton is the phytoplankton occurring in freshwater ecosystems. It can be distinguished between limnoplankton, heleoplankton, and potamoplankton. They differ in size as the environment around them changes. They are affected negatively by the change in salinity in the water.
Ecology
Temperature
The effects of warming is largely dependent on several collective factors. The pH in freshwater systems, and the eutrophication and oligotrophication of nutrients are important in studying the physiological effects on freshwater phytoplankton.
