Bio-assessment of surface waters in the south-east of Gaziantep (Turkey) using diatom metrics
Ecological characterizations of the sampling stations were introducedby TIT–Trophic Index Turkey, TI–Trophic Index, and EPI-D–Eutrophication and/or Pollution Index-Diatom. Trophic index Turkey tested in this study provides information about assessment of surface watersin the south-east of the Gaziantep catchment (Turkey). Comparedto EPI-D, TIT was more competitive and had significantpositive correlation with P-PO4. Trophic Index Turkey could be a useful biological metricfor freshwater monitoring.
