Algae communities differing in their species composition, number of species, floristic spectra, spectra of leading families and genera, dominant species, and in the intensity of their development are formed on substrata of different types (solid artificial inorganic substratum, higher aquatic plants, and green filamentous algae). It has been shown that individual taxonomic groups of algae prefer a specified type of substratum. %8 2011-06-22
