Methodological approaches in studying the diversity of algae in floodplain water bodies
Abstract
The results of algofloristic studies of reservoirs of various genesis and different stages of genesis series in the floodplains of small rivers of Kharkov and other regions of Ukraine are considered. Examples of common and rare species, representatives of different ecological–systematic groups of algae in floodplain water bodies are given. The data can be used by researchers of environmental institutions of different levels of the reserve. A brief characteristic of typological groups of reservoirs of a river floodplain is given. Methodical and methodological advices are provided for planning and conducting research on such water bodies. It is noted that it is important to select sites for collecting material in order to obtain representative data on the status of the studied water bodies, as well as to identify rare species of algae in need of protection. Habitats are listed, which should be noted during algal floristic works, as part of the general hydrobiological research. Examples are given of two types of floodplain habitat, promising from the point of view of finding rare species of algae, including new ones for the nature protection object, the region, and quite possible for science.
