Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Lower plant conservation has moved forward considerably. This book represents a joint venture between the nature and conservation agencies of Ireland and the United Kingdom. There are only 33 species of the algae called Stoneworts in Ireland and the UK, but they are of great ecological significance, often carpeting vast areas in freshwater lakes and forming an important source of food for diving ducks. A high proportion of the group is regarded as threatened. This book aims to bring stoneworts to the wider attention of those who manage sites for nature conservation.
