Valuable habitats of protected areas in southern Poland – a source of rare and poorly known diatom species
The peatbogs and natural upper sections of streams in national parks in southeastern Poland represent unique study areas for research on freshwater diatom diversity. During studies conducted on diatoms in three Polish national parks, many little-known, very rare, and endangered species were noted. F...
