Algal communities possess many attributes as biological indicators of spatial and temporal environmental changes. Algal parameters, especially the community structural and functional variables that have been used in biological monitoring programs, are highlighted in this document. Biological indicators like algae have only recently been included in water quality assessments in some areas of Malaysia. The use of algal parameters in identifying various types of water degradation is essential and complementary to other environmental indicators.
藻类群落具有许多作为时空环境变化生物指标的属性。本文着重介绍了藻类参数,特别是在生物监测项目中使用的群落结构和功能变量。像藻类这样的生物指标直到最近才被纳入马来西亚一些地区的水质评估中。利用藻类参数识别各种类型的水质退化至关重要,且对其他环境指标具有补充作用。
