• Assessment of water quality and plankton composition of Nikli Haor, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh., Atikur Rahman, Md Labab Uddin, Dhaka University Journal of Biological Sciences (Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci.), https://doi.org/10.3329/dujbs.v34i2.84001, 07/31/25, Volume 34, Issue 2, This study evaluates the physicochemical water quality and plankton community structure of Nikli Haor, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh, using standard limnological methods across multiple sampling stations. It documents plankton diversity and biomass in relation to nutrient concentrations and key environmental variables. The results indicate mesotrophic to eutrophic conditions, providing baseline ecological data for haor ecosystem management and conservation.
• Spatial Distribution of Phytoplankton and their Interrelationships with Water Quality Factors in the South-Western Sundarbans of Bangladesh., Symoon Haque Saykot, Md. Labab Uddin, 10.2139/ssrn.5315133, Preprint (SSRN working paper / preprint server), SSRN (Social Science Research Network), 06/21/25, This study elucidates the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of phytoplankton assemblages within the south-western Sundarbans and delineates their multivariate associations with pivotal water quality determinants such as salinity gradients, nutrient flux, and physicochemical parameters. Utilizing robust multivariate ordination analyses, the research deciphers how environmental gradients sculpt phytoplankton community structure and ecosystem productivity. The findings furnish baseline ecological insights and bioindicator frameworks crucial for monitoring estuarine health and informing conservation stratagems in this emblematic mangrove-estuarine nexus.
