Abstract

The main objective of this study was to quantify the diatom flora richness and analyze the diversitystructure in the aquatic habitats in Western Khentey Mountain area. During the diatom study of some streams andrivers namely Barchuluut, Huder, Ichleg, Shariin gol, and Sharlan rivers, which are located in western part of Khenteymountains, 98 species of diatoms were registered and the result compared with literature sources. In the water bodies inthe western part of Khentey mountains totally 673 species and subspecies of algae were registered (Bacillariophyceae(640), Coscinodiscophyceae (20), Mediophyceae (13)). They represent 35 percent of Mongolian algae flora.
