چکیده
Abstract The benthic algal composition of Charophyta in the Avusor Great Lake and Koçdüzü at altitude about 3,000 m a.s.l. was investigated on 21 August 2019. A total 112 species, belonging to Zygnematophyceae, were identified. genera Cosmarium (44), Staurastrum (16), Closterium (15), Euastrum (13) most abundant. members filamentous charophyta represented by two species. Bioindicator species characterize water both lakes as clear, Class 2 quality ecosystem mesotrophic. partly unexpected presence certain desmids taxa, i.e., characteristic eutrophic water, recorded.

Ecological status assessment of Skalenski Lakes (Bulgaria)
Over the past decade new ecological indices based on phytoplankton and macrophytes were developed as part of the tools for assessment of the ecological status of water bodies. This study demonstrates the applicability of two of them (Assemblage index /Q/ and Algae Group Index /AGI/) for evaluation of water bodies from a lake type L4 as well as their comparability. Assessment of the ecological s...
متن کاملEcological Niche Modeling of Mountain Vipers from the Raddei Clade in Iran, Caucasus and Eastern Turkey
Mountain vipers of the genus Montivipera, generally, and the species of the Raddei clade, specifically, are interesting examples of species neo-endemism in Iran, Anatolia, and the Caucasus. Given the critical conservation status of these species, it is necessary to identify their suitable habitats for prioritizing conservation measures. We modeled ecological niche of each species based on four ...

Background:The natural radioactivity levels in soil samples of Karadağ Mountain in central Anatolia region have been determined. Materials and Methods: Analyses on the collected samples were performed to determine gross alpha and beta radioactivity concentrations by using a gas-flow proportional counter and the concentrations of 238U, 232Th and 40K by using a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. Res...
متن کاملFood Web Topology in High Mountain Lakes
Although diversity and limnology of alpine lake systems are well studied, their food web structure and properties have rarely been addressed. Here, the topological food webs of three high mountain lakes in Central Spain were examined. We first addressed the pelagic networks of the lakes, and then we explored how food web topology changed when benthic biota was included to establish complete tro...
