ABSTRACT: An annotated list is provided for 38 species of aerophytic algae (31 cyanobacteria, six Chlorophyta, and one Bacillariophyta) that were recovered from eight soil study sites (in coniferous and hardwood forests) collected during surveys carried out in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) in August 2010. The cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya foveolarum was the single most frequently encountered species recovered from all eight study areas. Most species (68% of the total) were found at only one or two sampling sites. There were 32 new species records in the GSMNP.
