Autecological studies of diatoms as pH indicators have opened the way to estimating a lake's past pH on the basis of its diatom species composition and relative abundance. Estimating the rate of lake acidification from its sediment subfossil diatoms is possible when these subfossils can be identifie
Several leaf cuticular features such as stomatal frequency, stomatal size, trichome length, type, and frequency, and subsidiary cell complex respond to environmental pollution in different ways and hence can be used as indicators of environmental pollution in an area. Several modifications in cuticu
## Abstract Diatoms are photosynthetic unicellular, eukaryotic, microorganisms (algae) that are distinguished by their silicified (SiO~2~‐nH~2~O) cell walls. They have often been employed to assess salinity, pH, and nutrient conditions. Our data suggest that, they may also be used to assess suspend
