Macrophytes of the Grliste Reservoir (Serbia): fifteen years after its establishment

A large number of macrophytes, often in dense populations, have developed in the Grliste Reservoir, Serbia, over a period of 15 years. Fast development of vegetation is a consequence of anthropogenic impact in lake management. The methodology used in this research covered 100% of the water body, inc...

Description
Summary:A large number of macrophytes, often in dense populations, have developed in the Grliste Reservoir, Serbia, over a period of 15 years. Fast development of vegetation is a consequence of anthropogenic impact in lake management. The methodology used in this research covered 100% of the water body, including all areas with or without aquatic plants. The results indicate that plant communities are still in the early phase of development. This leaves space for future development of competitior macrophyte species (Najas marina, Eleopharis palustris, Typha latifolia, Thypha angustifolia, Phragmitis australis, etc.) capable of endangering stability of the lake, which will tend toward eutrophication.
