Geobotanical descriptions of Zostera communities were carried out in the eastern part of the Russian shelf of the Black and Azov seas. Based on the descriptions, the syntaxonomy of the class Zosteretea Pignatti 1953 is considered, taking into account the diversity of macrophytic algae. In total, 6 communities dominated by Zostera and Nanozostera we...

Stauroneis (Naviculales, Bacillariaceae) are widespread, mostly in fresh-water habitats, and account for 343 species. They are described mainly on the basis of morphology and morphometric traits. These characteristics vary during life cycles and may overlap between species, making their identification difficult. We isolated two strains of naviculoi...

Shallow-water communities of opportunistic green marine macroalgae in eutro-phicated areas are currently gaining an advantage over communities dominated by other groups of macrophytes. Therefore, their classification, study of composition and observation of structural changes are of particular importance. One class (Ul-vae intestinalis-Ulvetea linz...

Soil is a unique ecosystem with peculiar biodiversity that includes cyanobacteria and algae. Traditionally, cyanobacterial and algal cenoses were described mainly using the dominance approach, rarely based on the Braun-Blanquet method (floristic classification). More importantly, in both cases, the species of cyanobacteria and algae in communities...

Studying the flora using light and scanning electron microscopy made it possible to obtain data on new species of Bacillariophyta for Russia and the region from some temporary reservoirs of Sakhalin Island.

Many filamentous and sarcinoid terrestrial or freshwater green algae that were previously assigned to the Chlorophyceae are members of lineages belonging to the class Ulvophyceae. One of these lineages is the Planophila-clade (Ulotrichales). Some genera in this clade share similar morphology: cell packages forming branched pseudofilaments, uniseria...

Three strains of a coccoid green alga were isolated from soil samples collected at the Shiveluch Volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula. SSU rRNA gene sequence comparisons resolved the strains as members of the genus Eremochloris in the class Trebouxiophyceae. Analyses based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rRNA secondary structure revealed tha...

Supralittoral and shallow water seaweed communities are particularly exposed to impacts such as climate change and disturbance by humans.

Chlorella-like green algae that reproduce only asexually by immotile autospores or motile zoospores are the most typical inhabitants of non-aquatic environments. They have a simple morphology that hampers their differentiation, but algae of such habit represent a diverse array of lineages, which are mostly in the classes Chlorophyceae and Trebouxio...

The biodiversity of underground habitats is of considerable interest from different standpoints, but information on the biota of the caves is incomplete and fragmentary.
