Abstract(s)
“[…]. O principal objectivo deste livro é fornecer informação útil aos visitantes da zona das marés nos Açores e chamar a sua atenção para estas plantas muitas vezes ignoradas. Existem cerca de 400 espécies de macroalgas marinhas nos Açores. As maiores são fáceis de encontrar, mas muitas só são visíveis à lupa ou microscópio. Neste livro incluem-se descrições e ilustrações de 46 espécies (44 algas, 1 cianobactéria, 1 líquen) relativamente fáceis de encontrar e identificar. Os leitores são elucidados sobre a melhor forma de as encontrar, bem como sobre aspectos básicos da respectiva morfologia e valor natural e/ou comercial. Para os leitores interessados, são ainda sugeridas publicações mais especializadas sobre o assunto. O livro inclui um glossário com os termos técnicos utilizados nas descrições apresentadas.”
ABSTRACT: “[…]. The aim of this booklet is to make some of this new information available to the interested visitor to the sea-shore, and to provide an introduction to these often overlooked plants. Not all the species that occur in the Azores (approximately 400) are considered here; many are small in size and seen only with the aid of a microscope, others may be larger but are inconspicuous forms difficult to recognise. We present a synopsis of the seaweed flora of the Azores through pictures and brief descriptions of 46 species (44 seaweeds, 1 cyanobacterium, 1 lichen) that can be found without too much difficulty. We also present some basic facts as to what seaweeds are and what they look like, where they grow, and their value to the natural world as well as to mankind. For those wanting more information some references to other publications are given.”
