For the first time, we studied 18 lakes of the Artabel Lakes Nature Park and revealed 154 species of non-diatoms algae from four taxonomic Divisions. Charophyta (73 taxa) prevails in the flora and mainly represented by the genus Cosmarium (37). Cyanobacteria (42), Chlorophyta (30) and Eunlenozoa (9) are also present. New records for the Turkish algae flora are represented by 31 taxa, most of which belong to Cosmarium (15) and Staurastrum (5). Rare species from benthic cyanobacteria were revealed in communities of the Artabel Lake. Statistical methods revealed a high individuality of the algae communities and divided it into two major group: Acambol–Yıldız, and Beş–Artabel, which belong to different River Basins. The altitude of the lakes appears to be the major environmental variable that controls the non-diatom algal diversity. Bioindication characterized the water of studied lakes as temperate by temperature, middle saturated with oxygen, neutral to low acidic pH, low saline, Class 2–3 of Water Quality and mesotrophic.

Сахин, Б., Акар, Б., Баринова, С. Недиатомовые водоросли высокогорных охраняемых озер Природного Парка Артабель Лэйкс, Гюмюшхане, Турция. Впервые исследовано 18 озер природного парка Артабельских озер. Было идентифицировано 154 вида недиатомовых водорослей из четырех таксономических отделов. Представители отдела Charophyta (73 таксона) преобладают в основном за счет видов рода Cosmarium (37). Также представлены отделы Cyanobacteria (42), Chlorophyta (30) и Eunlenozoa (9). Новые находки для флоры водорослей Турции представлены 31 таксоном, большинство из которых принадлежит родам Cosmarium (15) и Staurastrum (5). Редкие виды цианобактерий найдены в сообществах озера Артабель. Статистические методы выявили высокую индивидуальность сообществ водорослей и разделили их на две основные группы: Акамболь – Йылдыз и Беш–Артабель, относящиеся к разным речным бассейнам. Высота озер является основной переменной среды, которая регулирует разнообразие недиатомовых водорослей. Биоиндикация позволила характеризовать воду исследуемых озер как умеренную по температуре, умеренно насыщенную кислородом, от нейтрального до низкого кислотного рН, с низким содержанием солей, 2–3 класса качества и мезотрофную.
