Algal taxonomic survey of Zion National Park and Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah, and Pipe Spring National Monument, Arizona

摘要

In an algal survey of Pipe Spring National Monument, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and Zion National Park in southern Utah and northern Arizona, 186 species were identified. Overall, diatoms were the dominant group represented by 103 species (55.4% of the reported species). Cyanobacteria and green algae included 41 species each (22.0%), and red algae had only 1 species. Only at Weeping Rock in Zion National Park were cyanobacteria and green filamentous algae dominant. [References: 63]
