The distribution and three newly reported species of aerial algae at Mt. Gwanggyo, Korea
Abstract
This research includes the identification and cultivation of aerial algae from 33 sites located in Mt. Gwanggyo of Gyeonggi-do, Korea, from March 2011 to August 2012. The ecological factors of aerial algae were analyzed and a total of 29 taxawere identified in 4 phyla, 5 classes, 11 orders, 15 families, 19 genera, 28 species and 1 variety; 12 taxa of cyanophytes, 8taxa of chrysophytes, and 9 taxa of chlorophytes were found. As for newly recorded cyanophytes of Korea, Komvophoronjovis, Microcoleus steenstrupii, and Nostoc edaphicum appeared. Komvophoron jovis, previously known to grow on rocksand boulders, appeared in soil. Microcoleus steenstrupii, reported to appear in desert soils, appeared on the wet surface ofthe soil after rain. Nostoc edaphicum, in symbiosis with fungi, appeared on tree bark as the lichen. Thus, there are a totalof 99 reported taxa of Korean aerial algae, including 3 species that were discovered in this study.
