Abstract | In 1998, 1999 and 2000, samples were taken seasonally in the Savica Waterfall, the waterfalls of the Krka River and a small waterfall on Pohorje, all three in Slovenia. The purpose of the investigation was to establish qualitative species structure and the abundance of the periphyton. In 1999 and 2000, some physical and chemical parameters were also measured. Altogether, 143 species and subspecies of algae were determined. Most of them belonged to Bacillariophyceae. 27 species and subspecies were new to Slovenia, most of them belonging to Bacillariophyceae, followed by Cyanophyceae. Most new species and subspecies belonged to Nitzschia (5) and Navicula (5) genera. | |
