Qualitative and Quantitative Aquatic Algal Data Compilation to Determine Macrotrends - III

摘要

A data base of the algae of Arkansas ecoregions has been established by the use of a relational data base management system (dBase III plus). The system was chosen to be readily available for a variety of microcomputers using MS- and PC-DOS. The data base contains taxonomic fields from division through variety, synonymy, authors, initial description, date and definitive descriptive source. The data are cross-referenced by ecoregion, Round's community and subcommunity designations. The data base contains approximately 1,500 taxonomic records in all divisions and classes of freshwater algae.
