Plankton communities are crucial components of aquatic ecosystems, serving as the foundation for food webs in both freshwater and marine environments. These diverse assemblages of microscopic organisms, including phytoplankton and zooplankton, play essential roles in nutrient cycling, primary production, and energy transfer. Understanding the structure, function, and dynamics of plankton communities is vital for managing aquatic resources and addressing environmental changes.
