Physico-chemical influence on the diversity of phytoplankton at Putrajaya Lake and Wetlands, Putrajaya, Malaysia
This study was conducted to determine the influence of physico-chemical parameters to the distribution and succession of phytoplanktons of Putrajaya Lake and wetlands. Water sampling was conducted at three selected sampling sites (water input: Site 1, natural remediation; Site 2 and lake activity ce...
