Resumo
As algas habitam uma grande variedade de ambientes e substratos terrestres; entretanto o conhecimento taxonômico para as regiões tropicais ainda é escasso. Esse levantamento foi conduzido em 10 fragmentos florestais no Estado de São Paulo, onde crescimentos visíveis de algas e briófitas foram coletados e os principais componentes da comunidade algal foram estudados. Os resultados revelaram a ocorrência de nove espécies de algas verdes, distribuídas nas classes Trebouxiophyceae (uma espécie), Charophyceae (uma espécie) e Ulvophyceae (sete espécies). Desmococcus olivaceus (Persoon ex Archerson) J. R. Laundon e Printzina effusa (Krempelhüber) Thompson & Wujek são novos registros para o Brasil. Os organismos mais frequentes nas áreas pertencem a Trentepohliales, que foi representado principalmente por espécies de Trentepohlia . Baseado nos resultados encontrados, é recomendado que tais comunidades recebam mais atenção em investigações futuras para aumentar o conhecimento sobre esse importante grupo de produtores primários.

This survey was conducted in ten forest remnants in São Paulo State where visible growths of algae and bryophytes were collected and studied for the main algal components of the communities. Results reveal the occurrence of nine species of green algae, distributed through the class Trebouxiophyceae (one species), Charophyceae (one species) and Ulvophyceae (seven species).

The most frequent organisms found in the areas pertain to Trentepohliales that is mainly represented by Trentepohlia species. on the basis of results found, it is recommended that such communities receive more attention in future investigations to improve the knowledge about this important group of primary producers.
