Environmental filtering structures phytoplankton communities in a tropical river–estuarine transition: evidence consistent with species sorting

Phytoplankton communities provide sensitive models for testing how environmental filters organize plankton assemblages across river–estuarine transitions. We evaluated whether salinity, hydrological seasonality, and nutrient-related gradients structure phytoplankton biomass, diversity, composition, indicator taxa, an...
