Abstract
Algal occurrence, with particular emphasis on diatoms, was investigated over a two-year period on the travertine barriers of the Krka River in Slovenia. The purpose of the investigation was to establish qualitative composition and the relative abundance of the periphyton. In 1999 and 2000, basic physical and chemical parameters were measured. Altogether, 81 algal taxa were determined. Most of them belonged to Bacillariophyceae. Fifteen species and subspecies were new to Slovenia, 14 of them belonging to Bacillariophyceae and one to Cyanobacteria. Most of the new species and subspecies belonged to genera Nitzschia (5) and Navicula (4).
