Abstract
In this study, stone samples with epilithic algae on them were investigated. The samples were collected monthly from one station at Pond I located on the campus of Ondokuz Mayis University (OMU) between March 2004 and February 2005. The pond contained 55 taxa which were identified as belonging to the Bacillariophyta division. Cymbella silesiaca, C. tumida, Epithemia sorex, Gomphonema olivaceum var. minutissimum, and Navicula perminuta were the most common species in the epilithic algae flora of the pond. Common occurrence of these species in OMU Pond I was indicated that pond water contained calcium and was slightly alkaline. On the stone samples, collected from the pond, was found an abundant diatom community belonging to the alkaline water. Some species connected with the epipelic area were recorded in the epilithic area due to a cover of sediments on the face of the stones.
期刊介绍:
Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance.
The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
