RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Hašler, Petr A1 Poulíčková, Aloisie T1 Cyanobacteria of the West Carpathian Mts spring fens: single samplings JF Czech Phycology YR 2005 VO 5 IS 1 SP 43 OP 55 UL https://fottea.czechphycology.cz/artkey/fot-200501-0003.php AB The presented study focuses on the cyanobacterial diversity and variability in the West Carpathian Mts spring fens. Samples were collected at 32 sites on the border between the Czech and Slovak Republics. Moss assemblages inhabited particulary by subaerophytic cyanobacteria and diatoms dominated the investigated spring fens. Cyanobacteria were isolated from fresh moss samples and identified using light microscope. Environmental variables were measured using mobile instruments (WTW Company) and statistic software Canoco (TER BRAAK & ŠMILAUER, 1998) was applied for data evaluation. Altogether 51 cyanobacterial species were identified, including several interesting taxa: Aphanocapsa parietina, Cyanothece aeruginosa, Phormidium formosum, and Pseudocapsa cf. dubia. Morphology and ecology of the mentioned species are discussed and documented by drawings and distribution maps.
