Intercomparison on the taxonomy of freshwater benthic diatoms (2020-2021)

In the continuation of a collaboration between the Environmental Agencies of Friuli Venezia Giulia and Lombardy, the University of Turin and ISPRA (Italian Institute for Environmental Protection), this report contains the results of an interlaboratory comparison aimed at assessing the performance of the participating laboratories in the taxonomic identification of benthic diatoms in surface water bodies

Participation in these exercises makes it possible to guarantee a quality assurance of the data produced by different laboratories, which also meets the comparability requirements dictated by Directive 2000/60/EC.
