Abstract: This study presents results of the inventory of algal flora conducted between August 2007 and May 2008 in 18 lakes of the middle Rio Doce lake system, most of which is in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. We recorded 481 taxa, increasing the known total phytoplankton diversity of the region (gamma diversity) by 80%. The following classes were represented: Zygnematophyceae (171 taxa), Cyanobacteria (101), Chlorophyceae (71), Bacillariophyceae (42), Euglenophyceae (43), Trebouxiophyceae (24), Dinophyceae (8), X… Show more

The fact that our estimate of regional richness is high compared to previously published studies may, to some extent, be due to the fact that our study includes a greater number of sampling sites.…”

“…Among the aquatic ecosystems of the Atlantic Forest, there is an complex of ca. 250 lakes located in the middle Rio Doce basin (Barros et al 2013), which is the third largest system of lakes in Brazil. Only about 50 lakes are located in an environmental reserve, the "Rio Doce State Park", an important conservation area that was included in the Ramsar list for conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands, based on its ecological, economic, scientific, cultural and recreational value (Ramsar 2010).…”

“…Only about 50 lakes are located in an environmental reserve, the "Rio Doce State Park", an important conservation area that was included in the Ramsar list for conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands, based on its ecological, economic, scientific, cultural and recreational value (Ramsar 2010). Lakes within the park have been studied since the 1970s, mostly focusing on two lakes, Dom Helvécio and Carioca (Henry & Barbosa 1989;Bezerra-Neto & Pinto-Coelho 2008;Barros et al 2013). Several other lakes are also found in private areas outside the park, where the natural forest was cleared to make way to Eucalyptus plantations and pastures (Barros et al 2013).…”
