The effect of hydrochemical and other environmental variables on zooplankton communities in artificially connected ponds Highgate, London

Abstract

Hydrochemical and other environmental variables can have impacts on zooplankton communities in artificially connected ponds. We examined five ponds environmental parameters by using lab equipment to identify and quality the zooplankton subsamples. From Shannon diversity figure and RDA analysis, indeed, environmental variables can affect the zooplankton communities in the ponds, and zooplankton communities varied in the different range in each pond.
