The English edition is intended primarily as a tool to facilitate consistent and accurate identification of diatoms in central Europe. The present diatom flora consists of different identification keys, species profiles in alphabetical order, and photographic plates. A general key directs to the 110 genera included in the book. For species - rich genera keys to the species are provided. While using these keys one must remain being aware that this book covers only frequent and / or locally abundant species. It may thus well be that some of the species encountered are not included in the keys. The lead editor updated the work to include the latest information on the taxonomy and ecology.
