<p>Index values for diatom species included in the DES index</p>

datasets


Calculates ecological information and biotic indices for diatoms in a sample.
It includes number/shape of chloroplasts diversity indices, size classes, ecological guilds, and multiple biotic indices.
It outputs both a dataframe with all the results and plots of all the obtained data in a defined output folder.
Sample data was taken from Nicolosi Gelis, Cochero & G<c3><b3>mez (2020, <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.105951>).
The package uses the 'Diat.Barcode' database to calculate morphological and ecological information by Rimet & Couchez (2012, <doi:10.1051/kmae/2012018>),
