Environmental DNA metabarcoding revealing the distinct responses of phytoplankton and zooplankton to cascade dams along a river-way
As the crucial components of river ecosystem, the responses of phytoplankton and zooplankton to cascade dams have rarely been studied simultaneously, and thus, lacking the understanding of the difference in succession between them. Here, we investigated the phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in a river-way with cascade dams using an environmental DNA metabarcoding technology.
