  abstract = {{R}ecent volcanic lava flows extending into the ocean represent an ideal opportunity to study the long-term successional development of marine floral assemblages on the bare new substratum. {W}e describe the floral assemblages of nine lava flows of different ages (prehistoric to 2007) at {P}iton de la {F}ournaise ({R}eunion {I}sland, {I}ndian {O}cean) based on a survey of 37 stations. {W}e identified 159 species including 148 macroalgae, 1 seagrass, and 10 cyanobacteria. {F}ifty-one of those represent new records for {R}eunion {I}sland, and at least 9 taxa were identified as new to science. {R}ecent lava flows were characterized by the dominance of ephemeral, opportunistic species, such as {P}seudobryopsis hainanensis and {A}crocladus dotyanus, while prehistoric lava flows were mainly characterized by perennial species, particularly {S}argassum portiericuzum and {T}urbinaria ornata. {A} canonical correspondence analysis revealed that the environmental factor that most significantly correlated to the variation in floral assemblages was the distance to the most recent lava flow (2007). {T}his factor was also highly correlated to coral cover. {T}he composition of the different floral assemblages is discussed in relation to abiotic and biotic factors to explain ecological succession in a tropical environment.},
