Algae of selected continental and maritime bogs in North America
Algal taxa (281) were identified from 31 ombrotrophic bogs and 3 weakly minerotrophic fens from Manitoba to Newfoundland. Species richness increases from continental to maritime and coastal bogs, mainly as a result of an increase in Chlorophyta, especially Desmidiaceae. Species richness is related t...
