Abstract

The results of algological studies in water bodies of the Manikuyakha River basin are discussed. A total of 172 taxa of algae have been identified, including 65 taxa new for the Bol’shezemel’skaya tundra and 130 taxa (three genera, 116 species, and six varieties) found in water bodies of the Polar Urals for the first time. The current state of these water bodies has been assessed on the basis of hydrochemical and algological indices.
