A new plant-based biomonitoring scheme for tropical African rivers is described.
- class="label">•
Trophic ranking scores (ZTRSsp) are given for 156 Zambian macrophyte species.
- class="label">•
ZMTR indicated trophic status reasonably accurately for 83.1% of Zambian samples.

An independent test dataset from Botswana also showed a positive test outcome.

Examples show the ability of ZMTR to indicate current and hindcast trophic status.
