Description: 
    Calculate multiple biotic indices using diatoms from environmental samples. Diatom species are recognized by their species' name using a heuristic search, and their ecological data is retrieved from multiple sources.
    It includes number/shape of chloroplasts diversity indices, size classes, ecological guilds, and multiple biotic indices.
    It outputs both a dataframe with all the results and plots of all the obtained data in a defined output folder.
    - Sample data was taken from Nicolosi Gelis, Cochero & Gómez (2020, <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.105951>).
    - The package uses the 'Diat.Barcode' database to calculate morphological and ecological information by Rimet & Couchez (2012, <doi:10.1051/kmae/2012018>),and the combined classification of guilds and size classes established by B-Béres et al. (2017, <doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.07.007>).
    - Current diatom-based biotic indices include the DES index by Descy (1979)
