Diversity of microscopic biological particles plays a crucial role in important ecosystem services, e.g. water quality (phytoplankton), air quality and pollination (pollen). Many human-driven activities like climate change, eutrophication or invasive species are expected to massively change the composition of pollen abundance and phytoplankton communities. Monitoring of these tiny particles …
