“…However, this is only possible if datasets can be merged easily. Even though diatom indices have been proven to be quite robust for the assessment of ecological status (Kelly et al, 2009 ;Kahlert et al, 2012 ;Almeida et al, 2014 ), diatom taxa lists can often not be compared directly. The reason for this is the lack of harmonization of diatom identification and counting techniques among regions or countries, which leads to inconsistent diatom datasets if not a form of taxa harmonization is used before analysis (Vyverman et al, 2007 ;Stevenson et al, 2010 ;Kelly et al, 2014 ).…”

“…Diatom indices are potential tool to elucidate the possible impact of human activity differences on the river ecosystem with the degree of pollution. The BDI and TDI indices, developed in temperate region, is the most widely used diatom-based index for water quality monitoring tools [2]. However, they have never been applied in Vietnam waters.…”

“…Due to their diversity and wide distribution in various habitats, diatoms are among the most common groups that are being used to monitor ecological status of rivers [1,2]. Many diatom indices have been developed and applied for the classification water quality.…”

“…Diatom indices are commonly used to summarise ecological and hydrological information provided by diatom assemblages (Almeida et al, 2014), and have been developed and applied for water quality assessment worldwide (Bate et al, 2002;Taylor et al, 2007a, b;Tan et al, 2014b). Most of the indices employed are based on Zelinka and Marvan's (1961) approach, which considers weighted averages of taxa's sensitivity to nutrients and organic degradation, as well as pH and salinity (Taylor et al, 2007b;Almeida et al, 2014;Bere et al, 2014;Hlúbiková et al, 2014).…”
