A description of the stonewort sites is given and the abundance and the degrees of endangering of the species are discussed. Data about the vegetation of the habitats of Nitella hyalina and N opaca are reported. Additionally former sites of Chara canescens have been checked again. References to determination problems concerning Nitella opaca and N flexilis are given. Finally the protection of stoneworts, management requirements and the need for future investigations are discussed. 收起
