Diversity and ecology of charophytes in Vojvodina (Serbia) along the gradient of salinity
In 2021 a charophyte survey was conducted in the southern part of the Carpathian Basin, the Vojvodina province (Serbia). We investigated 14 waterbodies that were different in origin (natural, natural degraded, artificial) and were chosen along the gradient of salinity. Furthermore, waterbodies were...
