Abstract     In Slovenia, the first algal research dates back to the year 1845, when Kützing referred to several localities in Slovenian territory in his work Phycologia germanica. The present knowledge of diversity, variety and abundance of algae, however, is still incomplete, which applies both to aquatic and terrestrial species. The presented study carried out in 2005 and 2006 included 30 different aquatic and 5 terrestrial environments. It embraced data on species composition and distribution of benthic species in aquatic ecosystems and terrestrial environments. 634 taxa from ten classes were identified, 170 of which were discovered in Slovenia for the very first time. Most new identified taxa in Slovenia belong to Bacillariophyceae, specifically Navicula and Nitzschia. The genera of Amphidinium, Bumilleria, Heterothrix, Stylopyxis, Entomoneis, Stenopterobia, Chlorophysema, Podohedra and Poloidion had not been recorded in Slovenia prior to this study.,,
Summary     Prve raziskave alg na območju Slovenije segajo v leto 1845, ko je Kützing v svojem delu Phycologia germanica omenil tudi naše kraje. Poznavanje vrstne strukture, pestrosti in abundance alg pa je še vedno nepopolno. To velja tako za vodne kot kopenske vrste. Predstavljene sezonske raziskave v letih 2005 in 2006 vključujejo 30 različnih vodnih okolij in 5 terestričnih. Vključujejo podatke o vrstni sestavi in razširjenosti bentoških vrst v vodnih ekosistemih in terestričnih okoljih. Evidentirali smo 634 taksonov iz desetih razredov, od tega 170 taksonov prvič na ozemlju Slovenije. Največ na novo ugotovljenih taksonov v Sloveniji pripada razredu kremenastih alg in sicer rodovoma Navicula in Nitzschia. Rodovi Amphidinium, Bumilleria, Heterothrix, Stylopyxis, Entomoneis, Stenopterobia, Chlorophysema, Podohedra in Poloidion pa do sedaj niso bili znani v Sloveniji.
