Cohabitant charophyte algal flora and its ecology in high-mountain lakes of the Artabel Lakes Nature Park (Gümüşhane, Turkey)
The composition of charophyte taxa and their habitat preferences in water bodies of the Artabel Lakes Nature Park were investigated on 15 August 2013 and 13 August 2016. A total of 73 taxa belonging to Conjugatophyceae (Zygnematophyceae) and Klebsormidiophyceae were recorded. The genera Cosmarium...

| description | The composition of charophyte taxa and their habitat preferences in water bodies of
the Artabel Lakes Nature Park were investigated on 15 August 2013 and 13 August
2016. A total of 73 taxa belonging to Conjugatophyceae (Zygnematophyceae) and
Klebsormidiophyceae were recorded. The genera Cosmarium (37), Staurastrum
(10) and Closterium (7) were most abundant. The partly unexpected presence
of certain desmid taxa, i.e., taxa characteristic of eutrophic water, was recorded.
Filamentous charophytes were represented by three taxa. The Willis curve for the
distribution of species to genera had a trend line of R2
= 0.9123. Bioindication,
statistical methods and comparative floristic results show that water in all of the
studied lakes was fresh, of low-conductivity, circum-neutral and with little organic
pollution. Four groups of lakes were identified as a result of statistical comparison
of their environmental and biological variables. Bioindication results can be used
as references for future monitoring of the lakes in protection of the species found
in the Artabel Lakes Nature Park and can also be included in the National Water
Quality Standard System of Turkey. |
