Description
The varied and often beautiful forms of freshwater algae have long held
a fascination for naturalists and professional scientists alike,
particularly those involved in monitoring and managing the freshwater
environment. This Flora provides the first modern account and
identification guide to more than 2200 species of freshwater algae found
in the British Isles (excluding diatoms), the majority of which also
have a world-wide distribution. Non-technical descriptions are supported
by clear line illustrations or photographs that emphasise the features
significant for identification, most of which can be seen with a simple
light microscope. In addition, user-friendly keys enable the accurate
identification of specimens to the level of genus or species. Notes are
included on ecology, world distribution and any taxonomic problems or
identification difficulties. The accompanying CD-ROM photo catalogue of
more than 900 spectacular colour images of freshwater algae and their
habitats provides a valuable additional reference source and
identification tool.
