Hydrobiologia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Data are given on the ecology of some 50 species of fresh-water algae. The response of species to temperature, light intensity and a current of water is recorded in a table and notes on the habitat factors important for most species are given. Data are from both field and laboratory observations. An attempt is made to group species according to their response to important habitat factors.

Zusammenfassung

Angaben über die Ökologie von 50 Arten von Süßwasseralgen werden gegeben. Die Reaktion der Arten auf Temperatur, Lichtstärke und Wasserströmung wird angegeben, zusammen mit Bemerkungen über die Habitatsumstände, die für meiste Arten wichtig sind. Die Angaben stammen von Laboratorien and Feldbeobachtungen.

Ein Versuch werde gemacht, die Arten nach ihren Reaktionen auf wichtige Habitatsfaktoren zu klassifizieren.
