Diatoms in fifty-seven surface sediment samples from Utah Lake were examined . Three hundred and fifteen taxa in forty-three genera were identified and quantified .

In particular, both Provo Bay and Goshen Bay were distinct from each other and from other areas of the lake .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
