  abstract = {{P}hytoplankton diversity and abundance in estuarine systems are controlled by many factors. {S}alinity, turbidity, and inorganic nutrient concentrations and their respective ratios have all been proposed as principal factors that structure phytoplankton diversity and influence the emergence of potentially toxic species. {A}lthough much work has been conducted on temperate estuaries, less is known about how phytoplankton diversity is controlled in tropical, monsoonal systems that are subject to large, seasonal shifts in hydrology and to rapidly changing land use. {H}ere, we present the results of an investigation into the factors controlling phytoplankton species composition and distribution in a tropical, monsoonal estuary ({B}ach {D}ang estuary, {N}orth {V}ietnam). {A} total of 245 taxa, 89 genera from six algal divisions were observed. {B}acillariophyceae were the most diverse group contributing to 51.4 % of the microalgal assemblage, followed by {D}inophyceae (29.8 %), {C}hlorophyceae (10.2 %), {C}yanophyceae (3.7 %), {E}uglenophyceae (3.7 %) and {D}ictyochophyceae (1.2 %). {T}he phytoplankton community was structured by inorganic nutrient ratios ({DS}i:{DIP} and {DIN}:{DIP}) as well as by salinity and turbidity. {E}vidence of a decrease in phytoplankton diversity concomitant with an increase in abundance and dominance of certain species (e.g., {S}keletonema costatum) and the appearance of some potentially toxic species over the last two decades was also found. {T}hese changes in phytoplankton diversity are probably due to a combination of land use change resulting in changes in nutrient ratios and concentrations and global change as both rainfall and temperature have increased over the last two decades. {I}t is therefore probable in the future that phytoplankton diversity will continue to change, potentially favoring the emergence of toxic species in this system.},
