Abstract:

The effect was determined of municipal sewage on the littoral submerged macrophytes of five lakes in the Masurian Lakeland. Transformations have been found in the species composition and structure of the macrophyte community, as well as changes in the phenology, morphology, biomass and chemical composition of selected macrophyte species in littoral habitats of a varying degree of pollution with municipal sewage. In habitats with the highest degree of pollution a specific system of zones (of elimination, degradation and stimulation) of the macrophytes has been distinguished. A field experiment has shown that due to the effect of high concentrations of municipal sewage, the degradation and elimination of the macrophytes are rapid. The amounts of macro- and microelements accumulated in the macrophytes were determined to evaluate the plants as possible biological filters.
