Abstract: The Euphrates-Tigris catchment area is one of the major drainage basins in the Middle East but climate change, overuse of waters and subsequent salinization has brought this region to the brink of ecological devastation. The aim of this study was to investigate the biodiversity of epiphytic diatoms in Iraq, for the first time using a combination of morphological and metabarcoding methods. 47 samples were collected at six sampling sites along the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates in northern Basra, Southern Iraq, dur… Show more
