Abstract

The algal and macrophytic occurrence in the pit lakes of the wider area of Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina) was investigated in 2008. The purpose of this investigation was to establish the qualitative composition and the relative abundance of the phytobenthos and epiphyton communities and the structure of the aquatic vegetation in the littoral area of the seven pit lakes. The basic physical and chemical parameters were measured and in total 73 algal taxa and 8 macrophytic species were determined. Most of the algal species belonged to Bacillariophyceae. The macrophytic vegetation was differentiated into two types of habitat. Using the statistical method of the numeric classification, a grouping of samples of phytobenthos and epiphyton compared to the habitat type in which samples were taken was established.
