Photosynthetic activity and ecology of benthic diatom communities from streams affected by Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) in pyritic mines

The surrounding streams of the Aljustrel mining area (Alentejo Region, Southern Portugal) are strongly affected by acid mine drainage (AMD), as a result of the weathering of the tailing's sulphide minerals. Benthic diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) and water samples were collected seasonally, during...
