Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria Kahlert"
- Maria Kahlert's recent research primarily focuses on the assessment and ecological monitoring of freshwater ecosystems, with a significant emphasis on diatom communities and their response to various environmental stressors, particularly nutrient levels and pollutants.
- Her studies highlight critical gaps in existing river typology systems, suggesting that current classification methods inadequately capture the complexity of aquatic communities, and propose the development of new indices for better monitoring of eutrophication effects.
- Kahlert advocates for the integration of molecular methods like DNA metabarcoding into traditional ecological assessment approaches to improve the accuracy and efficiency of identifying and monitoring aquatic biodiversity.
