Volume 7 of the series "Süßwasserflora/Freshwater Flora of Central Europe" covers the freshwater red algae and brown algae of this region. These organisms can be found in running waters, in lakes and ponds, on wet soils and sometimes also in hot sulphuric springs. This book is intended to aid both the algologists and applied researchers to correctly identify European freshwater algae using updated nomenclature. Detailed descriptions of all taxa and high-quality drawings and photographs of the species facilitate their identification are provided.

First comprehensive guide of its kind, this volume is essential for any study of freshwater algae in the British Isles.
The Twelfth International Diatom Symposium stressed how diatoms can be used to assess the human impact on natural waters, without neglecting other important fields of research. As the frustules of many diatom species are relatively resistant to dissolution they are preserved in freshwater and marine sediments and provide a record of past environments on earth. In past decades they have been successfully used to reconstruct changes in water bodies evoked by changes in salinity, acidification and eutrophication. In the last few years diatom-inferred predictions of environmental variables have become much more quantitative. In the most recent research reports the strong separation between palae...
