Species diversity of algae in the water bodies of 'Medobory' Nature Reserve (Ukraine)

摘要

Species diversity of algae in reservoirs of the "Medobory" Nature Reserve was investigated in 189 species (201 taxa of infraspecific taxa). Among them, 170 species (181 taxa of infr. taxa) are new for the reserve. Chlorophyta, Cyanoprocaryota, Bacillariophyta, and Euglenophyta are dominant groups. The highest species diversity is sighted in rivers (113 species, 120 taxa of infr. rank), ponds (91 species, 99 taxa of infr. taxa) and ephemeral water bodies (62 species, 67 taxa of infr. taxa). The least number of species was recorded in streams: 4 species only. Six species (one of which is rare) were found in algal flora of the Ukraine; among them, 3 species and one form are new for the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine,
