Seasonal dynamics of mats composed by green alga Zygnema (Zygnematophyceae)

The mats formed by Zygnema spp. are well known and frequently found in streams, puddles, seepages, and ponds. Owing to the low and inconsistent water quantity of these biotopes, algae are periodically subjected to stresses like desiccation, freezing, or strong solar radiation. Recent studies have re...
