This paper presents the results of long-term research regarding the algal biodiversity of the Sikhote-Alin biosphere reserve, Primorsky region (Russian Far East). The algal flora is compised of 675 species represented by 839 subspecific taxa from seven divisions: Cyanophyta, 77 (91 including subspecific taxa); Euglenophyta, 18 (21); Chlorophyta, 84 (86); Streptophyta, 137 (169); Rhodophyta, 3; Ochrophyta, 355 (468): Diatomophyceae, 331 (444), Chrysophyceae, 6, Xanthophyceae, 16, Phaeophyceae, 2; Dinophyta, 1. The algal floras of ecologically different reserve water bodies are described, including the brackish, Blagodatnoe Lake, the shallow freshwater Golubichnoe Lake, the alpine Solontsovskie Lakes, the rapid cold-water Serebryanka and Dzhigitovka rivers, and the lowland Kolumbe River. The taxonomic composition of the algal flora has been analysed. Differences between the algal communities of lakes and rivers are described and rare species are noted. The algal flora of the Sikhote-Alin biosphere reserve is currently the richest and most diverse of the six reserves studied in the Primorsky region. © 2001 Adac/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS.
