Abstract

This study focuses on species composition and spatial distribution of cyanobacterial and algal communities colonizing the surface of the tombstone. Ecological and taxonomical data were used for evaluation of changes in their vertical distribution. A total of 25 taxa were identified, 13 of them belonging to chlorophytes, 12 to other groups of algae and cyanobacteria; in addition four mosses and one liverwort occurred at 17 sampling sites. Three species, Klebsormidium crenulatum, Desmococcus olivaceus and Stichococcus bacillaris were found as the most abundant taxa. Investigated microhabitats offer relatively stabile microclimatic conditions and, likely, they are responsible for the observed vertical distribution of cyanobacteria and algae. Humidity was the main microclimatic factor influencing diversity, distribution and abundance of algae on investigated terrestrial substrate.

Abstract (in Czech)

Tato studie byla zameřena na druhové složení a prostorovou distribuci cyanobakteriálních a řasových společenstev kolonizujících povrch náhrobku. Ekologické a taxonomické data byly použity na vyhodnocení změn jejich vertikální distribuce. Determinováno bylo 25 taxonů, 13 z nich představovali zelené řasy a 12 ostatní skupiny řas a cyanobakterie. Nejčastějšími taxony byli Klebsormidium crenulatum, Desmococcus olivaceus and Stichococcus bacillaris. Zkoumaný mikrohabitat měl relativně stabilní mikroklimatické podmínky. Vlhkost byla hlavním mikroklimatickým faktorem ovlyvňujícím diverzitu, distribuci a abundanci řas na substrátě.
