Species composition of cryoseston was studied in the Vitosha Mountains (Bulgaria). In May 2005, snow fields were large, located in tree-line, not coloured, only with dirty surface; and the snow algal community was dominated by zygospores of Chloromonas nivalis (syn. Scotiella nivalis), and zygospores of Chloromonas brevispina (syn. Cryocystis brevispina). In July 2005, only a few small snow fields with characteristic shell-form surface persisted, above tree-line, one field had a very light pink tint. Zygospores of Chloromonas nivalis were again dominant, but characteristic alpine species of snow algae, Chlamydomonas cf. nivalis and Chloromonas rostafiński, as well as cells of Chromulina elegans and Stichococcus bacillaris fo. cryophila were also observed in samples. Alpine species Chlamydomonas cf. nivalis was dominant in late June 2006, forming patches of red snow on snow fields, located in alpine zone.
