Interannual and Seasonal Changes in the Benthic Algae Flora of Coral Reef in Xiaodong Hai (Hainan Island, China)
Intensive algal sampling conducted in 2016–2019 in the Xiaodong Hai locality (Hainan Island, South China Sea), yielded a total of 198 benthic macroalgal species and their taxonomic forms (54% reds, 20% browns and 26% greens) and 20 species of Cyanobacteria. The largest number of species belonged to...
