Aquatic macrophytes as indicator of Baćina lakes pollution

High nutrient concentration in surface waters stimulates growth on highly productive algae and cyanobacteria. The aims of our study was to establish the breaking point at which the internal nutrient levels and growth of the macrophytes. The results were based on the data collected from six lakes during 1998 and 2001. When the nutrient load increases and shifts a lakes form a clear water stage to a turbid stage it will not only reduce the benthic vegetation but also have a large impact on the whole food chains.
