This first comprehensive checklist of algae from freshwater and soil in Afghanistan is a significant milestone in understanding the country's biodiversity. It is the result of a collaborative effort by researchers from various institutions. It comprises 398 species belonging to 132 genera and five phyla of algae, with samples collected from 19 regions of Afghanistan. The Nitzschia and Navicula genera have the most significant number of species. The checklist also highlights the sensitivity and threatened status of certain species, such as Achnanthidium gracillimum (F. Meister) Lange-Bertalot, Brachysira serians (Brébisson) Round & D.G. Mann, Diploneis ovalis (Hilse) Cleve, Eunotia praerupta Ehrenberg, Eucocconeis flexella (Kützing) F. Meister. The currently accepted name of species, biological condition gradient of species, the status of species in the Red List of Germany, and trophic weight of some diatom species according to two diatom trophic indices were defined in the checklist. This study is a new start for this field of study and intends to provide the groundwork for further research, which will aid in the work of others interested in this topic.

Lakes play a vital role in supporting biodiversity, providing water resources, regulating climate, cycling nutrients, and offering recreational opportunities. Despite their importance for environmental health and human well-being, lakes face significant pressures in the Anthropocene era. The present work seeks to assess the species-environment interactions and the ecological status of six lakes in the Western Black Sea basin of Türkiye utilizing phytoplankton metrics during wet and dry periods. Canonical correspondence analysis revealed a significant correlation equal to 98.5% between phytoplankton species and environmental stressors during two hydrological periods. Electrical conductivity (EC), pH, total organic carbon (TOC), and temperature were the most influential environmental factors affecting phytoplankton distribution in lakes (p=0.002). Lake Sarıkum, a brackish habitat, was under high EC and pH pressure and is characterized by pollution-tolerant species. Lake Yeniçağa associated with TOC is characterized by some species, such as Anabaenopsis milleri, Chroococcus turgidus, Pseudoschroederia robusta, Aphanocapsa sp., Merismopedia glauca, Micractinium quadrisetum, and Microcystis aeruginosa. Lake Abant is located on the opposite side of EC, TOC, and temperature, which was associated with some species such as Cymbella affinis, Achnanthidium minutissimum, Encyonema minutum, E. silesiacum, and Dinobryon divergens. Results of the phyto-assessment displayed that the ecological status (ES) of the sampling stations during the rainy and dry periods varied from bad to high. The modified phytoplankton trophic index (MPTI) exhibited that a moderate ES was found in Lakes Sarıkum and Yeniçağa, while others had a good ES. The present study conﬁrmed that phytoplankton communities are strongly linked to the ecological status of lakes in the Western Black Sea basin, which could be assessed using the MPTI.

This study aims to identify the current fish species of Lake Çıldır. Fish sampling was conducted at three stations with high representativeness of the lake, in May 2024, using gill nets with the assistance of local fishermen. The results of the sampling and reviewing literature the presence of 17 species (Acanthobrama marmid, Alburnoides eichwaldii, Alburnus filippii, Barbus cyri, Capoeta capoeta, Carassius carassius, C. gibelio, Chondrostoma cyri, Cyprinus carpio (both native and introduced forms), Leuciscus aspius, Luciobarbus capito, L. mursa, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Oxynoemacheilus brandtii, Pseudorasbora parva, Salmo murathani and Squalius turcicus) were revealed in the lake. Lake Çıldır is a significant freshwater ecosystem with considerable ecological, economic, and cultural importance for Anatolia. However, given the various threats to the lake, urgent and effective measures are needed for its conservation. This study presents the updated fish fauna of Lake Çıldır and discusses recommendations for the health and conservation of the lake. By compiling existing information on the lake's ecosystem, the study aims to highlight the biodiversity of the lake and the environmental factors impacting it.
