Multilevel Approach in Biodiversity Analysis of Freshwater Algae

The relationships between algal biodiversity and environmental conditions are determined by adaptation level of the species and the community as a whole. Bioindication is based on the principal of congruence between community composition and complexity of environmental factors. However, it is still a problem to define the role of particular environmental variables as well as to predict the community’s response to environmental change.
