Phytocoenological study of the Catenella caespitosa (Withering) L.M. Irvine (Gigartinales, Rhodophyceae) community from the Slovenian coast, northern Adriatic Sea
Claudio Battelli
Sažetak
The Catenella caespitosa (Withering) L.M. Irvine community at two stations on the Slovenian coast of the northern Adriatic Sea was sampled monthly during 2002. The flora consisted of 18 species: seven Chlorophyceae, five Rhodophyceae, two Fucophyceae, and four Cyanobacteria. The diversity index indicated low community complexity at both stations (0.8 at station A and 0.5 at station B). The study also confirms the identification of the zonation of this community. A new sub-association of the upper mid-littoral zone Catenelletosum caespitosae, included in the Fucetum virsoidis Pignatti 1962 association, is described by the synecological method.
