Marine algal (seaweed) flora of Terceira Island, Azores.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As for many other Azorean Islands, the macroalgal flora of Terceira (belonging to the central group of the archipelago) is poorly known, the published information reflecting occasional collections of sporadic visitors to the island. In order to overcome this and contribute to improve the knowledge of Azorean macroalgal flora at both local and regional scales, a thorough investigation was conducted. Both collections and presence data recordings were undertaken at the littoral and sublittoral levels down to approximately 40 m around the island, covering a total area of approximately 49 km². This paper lists the taxonomic records and provides information on each species' ecology and occurrence on the Island's littoral.
