TY - T1 - Exploring Multiple Aspects of Taxonomic and Functional Diversity in Microphytobenthic Communities : Effects of Environmental Gradients and Temporal Changes SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/331644 T3 - A1 - Teittinen, Anette; Virta, Leena A2 - PB - Y1 - 2021 LA - eng AB - Biodiversity has traditionally been quantified using taxonomic information but the importance of also considering its functional characteristics has recently gained an increasing attention among microorganisms. However, studies exploring multiple aspects of taxonomic and functional diversity and their temporal variations are scarce for diatoms, which is one of the most important microbial groups in aquatic ecosystems. Here, our aim was to examine the taxonomic and functional alpha and beta diver...
