Check-list of Mediterranean Seaweeds. II. Chlorophyceae Wille s.l.

Abstract

A check-list of Mediterranean green algae, based on literature records, is given. The distribution of each taxon in the area (which is divided into 16 regions) is reported. The number of species and intraspecific taxa accepted for the Mediterranean Sea under current taxonomy is 214. This list has benefited from the suggestions on taxonomy, nomenclature and regional distribution made by phycological advisers for each region
