The use and type of catchment area seem to be the main factors influencing the biomass and the structure of phytoflagellate assemblage. Phytoflagellate species appeared among the phytoplankton dominants in each month and in each lake.Ĭryptophytes were related to the human pressure on one hand and to the cover of charophyte vegetation on the other hand. Phytoflagellate diversity, biomass and relative biomass (proportion in total phytoplankton biomass) were studied monthly during the growing season.īoth small and shallow as well as large and deep Chara lakes supported high proportion of phytoflagellates exceeding even 90 of the total phytoplankton biomass, but our results suggest lake-specificity in the composition of phytoflagellates. ![]() In one lake, the proportion of vegetation was lower than 50 of the lakes area while in the other lakes it was higher, in one of them reaching almost 70.
