摘要

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the species composition

biodiversity and

relative abundance of epiphytic algae and their relationship with environmental variables on three different macrophytes (Nymphaea alba

Ceratophyllum demersum

Typha latifolia ) at Acarlar Floodplain Forest (AFF). Epiphytic algae were gathered monthly by collecting aquatic plants between November 2011 and October 2012

except in winter when there were no plants. In this study

67 taxa on N. alba

66 taxa on C. demersum and 66 taxa on T. latifolia were identified as epiphytic algae. The mean value of species richness was 17

that of diversity was 1.5 and that of evenness was 0.54 for epiphytic algae on N. alba

1.1

and 0.39 on C. demersum

and 18

1.64

and 0.56 on T. latifolia

respectively. Oscillatoria sp. and Komvophoron crassum (Vozzen) Anagnostidis and Komárek were the most abundant and consistent epiphytic algal species

occurring in high abundance on all macrophytes. Results show that species composition of epiphytic algae was different

but diversity values were similar on all the macrophytes. The hydrological pulse is one of the most important factors determining the physical and chemical environment of the epiphytic algal community. However

substrate type also affected the colonization by F. capucina

O. sancta

P. catenata

and L. truncicola more than the epiphytic algal seasonality.
