Discussion

Observational analysis reveals that rainfall and water temperature significantly influence phytoplankton diversity in a mountainous reservoir.

Rainfall and water temperature directly affect phytoplankton diversity and biomass, altering aquatic ecosystems significantly.
Key findings indicate that phytoplankton density ranged from 3.33 × 103 to 7.95 × 107 cells/L, influenced by rainfall events.
The study utilized field surveys and multivariate analyses to assess phytoplankton community dynamics in Zhaoshandu Reservoir.
Understanding these influences could guide future water quality management practices in reservoir ecosystems.

Zhao et al. (2025) studied this question.
