Abstract: | Purpose The quantification of phytopigments in riverbed sediments deserves further attention because it provides information about
eutrophic levels, and therefore about sediment and water quality. Due to the current interest in the study of eutrophication
processes, there is a need for the development of a rapid, simple, cost-effective, and nondestructive method of quantifying
phytopigment content. We describe one method based on color measurements and without the need for extraction and chemical
assay. |
