Provides also information on taxonomy of river-inhabiting algal groups, including phylogeny, distribution, collection, preservation and description of the most representative genera of algae in river benthic algal communities.

Algae vary in shape and color, and are found in a large range of habitats, such as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and streams. Different forms of algae grow in response to changes in water temperature, sunlight, and available nutrients.

Mar 13, 2025 · Algae are microscopic plants that are usually aquatic, single-celled, and lacking true stems, roots, and leaves. Algal blooms occur in both marine and freshwater environments when a species of algae reproduces rapidly. A bloom may even discolor the water due to the large number of algal cells.

Sep 11, 2023 · Harmful algal blooms are taking over as the world warms and grows richer in carbon dioxide—and there’s no easy fix. Standing on the marina, Rob Skelly peers into the darkness of the river...

Oct 1, 2017 · Algal traits are increasingly used in biomonitoring, but only very recently considered for freshwater microalgae. Latest algal traits are summarized and include functional diversity, cell size, guild, life form, eco-morphology, spore formation as well as algal quality.

Jul 13, 2021 · The answers are intriguing and as varied as the algae species you can find in the San Antonio River Basin. Read along as we share facts about algae and how changes in the environment and aquatic system can affect how much algae can …

Jun 3, 2016 · River-inhabiting algae are briefly presented in terms of predominant algal groups, morphological types, patterns of abundance and distribution, responses to environmental variables, ecological roles in river ecosystems, and biogeographic trends.

Jun 3, 2016 · Algae in rivers are affected by light, water turbulence, and nutrient availability. These environmental factors ultimately affect algae according to their habitat, growth form, and specific physiological abilities.

River-inhabiting algae are briefly presented in terms of predominant algal groups, morphological types, patterns of abundance and distribution, responses to environmental variables, ecological roles in river ecosystems, and biogeographic trends.
