TLDR
In this paper, the use of diatoms in analysing ecological problems related to climate change, acidification, eutrophication, and other pollution issues is discussed, with a valuable and detailed summary of diatom applications in the environmental and earth sciences.Abstract:
This much revised and expanded edition provides a valuable and detailed summary of the many uses of diatoms in a wide range of applications in the environmental and earth sciences. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of diatoms in analysing ecological problems related to climate change, acidification, eutrophication, and other pollution issues. The chapters are divided into sections for easy reference, with separate sections covering indicators in different aquatic environments. A final section explores diatom use in other fields of study such as forensics, oil and gas exploration, nanotechnology, and archaeology. Sixteen new chapters have been added since the first edition including introductory chapters on diatom biology and the numerical approaches used by diatomists. The extensive glossary has also been expanded and now includes over 1,000 detailed entries, which will help non-specialists to use the book effectively.

TL;DR: Fifty-five paleolimnological records from lakes in the circumpolar Arctic reveal widespread species changes and ecological reorganizations in algae and invertebrate communities since approximately anno Domini 1850, indicating that the opportunity to study arctic ecosystems unaffected by human influences may have disappeared.

The species concept in diatoms
TL;DR: Diatoms are the most species-rich group of algae, and they are ecologically widespread and have global significance in the carbon and silicon cycles, and are used increasingly in ecological monitoring, paleoecological reconstruction, and stratigraphic correlation.

TL;DR: The dominance of diatoms as a major photosynthetic group and identify the most widespread and diverse genera are confirmed and a new estimate of marine planktonic diatom diversity and a global view of their distribution in the world’s ocean is provided.
