Description of the research topic:

Since soda pans and brownish forest lakes are among the most endangered aq uatic ecosystems in the world due to their hydrological sensitivity, studying their biodiversity is very important tasks for instance of nature conservation aspects. These habitats are special groups of aquatic ecosystems, their studies require new approach and knowledge. The main aims of the present study are to discover the diversity (e.g. taxonomic, phylogenetic) of siliceous algae in extreme aquatic ecosystems using microscopy, to determine the master variables that affect the diversities. As the results of this study, new, detailed and more real information will be provided about the siliceous algal assemblages and diversity. Better, more comprehensive and more general knowledge will be acquired from the current and projected anthropogenic and/or natural processes in aquatic ecosystems, which has significance in the basic researches and in applied ecology and nature conservation.
