Abstract

The present study summarized the freshwater algal diversity from Mt. Sinbul alpine wetlands in South Korea from March 2013 to December 2019. We identified a total of 183 taxa belong to seven main algal groups (Charophyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanophyta, Chrysophyta, Crypto-phyta, Dinophyta and Euglenophyta). The algal communities were characterized by high species numbers of the desmids making up 108 taxa. It was examined that the number of species was higher during late spring and summer. Among them, a total of 53 taxa of 40 desmid species (Cha-rophyta) including 4 new taxa (Actinotaenium crassiusculum var. minutum var. nov., Cosmarium vitiosum var. koreanum var. nov., Groenbladia neglecta var. longa var. nov., Staurodesmus kore-anus sp. nov.), 5 species of Chlorophyta, 7 species of Chrysophyta and 1 species of Cyanophyta have been recorded for the first time in Korea.
