“…These species were found in opposition to elodeids, which confirms that eutrophication may be responsible for the disappearance of submerged macrophytes and the switch to a turbid and phytoplankton-dominated state [49], dominated by small-bodied zooplankton [50]. On the other hand, submerged macrophytes intensively uptake nutrients from the water column, and in this way purify water quality in shallow water bodies [51–52]. Thus zooplankton species that prefer eutrophy are not found in relation to elodeids.…”

Due to their small area and shallow depth ponds are usually treated as a single sampling unit, while various microhabitats offer different environmental conditions. Thus, we tested the effect of different habitat types typically found within small ponds on the microalgae and zooplankton communities. We found that submerged macrophytes have the strongest impact on microalgae and zooplankton communities out of all the analysed habitats. Some epontic diatoms (e.g. Fragilaria dilatata, Cymbella affinis) and littoral-associated zooplankton species (e.g. Simocephalus vetulus, Lecane bulla) were significantly related to elodeids. However, pelagic species (e.g. bosminids) preferred less complex helophytes, which suggests that the most heterogeneous elodeid habitats were not an anti-predator shelter for cladocerans. Selection of different macrophyte types by taxonomically various organisms suggests that it is not only macrophyte cover that is desired for healthy aquatic environment but that a level of habitat mosaic is required to ensure the well-being of aquatic food webs. Species-specific preferences for different types of macrophytes indicate the high ecological value of macrophyte cover in ponds and a potential direction for the management of small water bodies towards maintaining a great variation of aquatic plants. Moreover, the type of surrounding landscape, reflecting human-induced disturbance (28 field ponds) and natural catchment (26 forest ponds), significantly influenced only zooplankton, while diatoms were affected indirectly through the level of conductivity. Nutrient overload (higher content of TRP) and increased conductivity in the field landscape contributed to a rise in microalgae (e.g. Amphora pediculus, Gomphonema parvulum) and zooplankton (e.g. Thermocyclops oithonoides, Eubosmina coregoni) abundance. An awareness of the responses of both components of plankton communities to environmental factors is necessary for maintaining the good state of small water bodies in various types of landscape.

IZVLEČEK Značilnosti makrofitov in njihova vloga v vodnih ekosistemihMakrofiti so rastline vodnih ekosistemov, ki jih vidimo s prostim očesom. Rastejo v vodi ali njeni neposredni bližini, in so lahko plavajoči in ukoreninjeni v substrat, prosto plavajoči, potopljeni in močvirski. V to skupino uvrščamo tudi makroalge, kot sta Chara in Nittella. Vodni makrofiti so zelo pomemben del vodnih ekosistemov. Na življenje v vodnem okolju so prilagojeni tako na morfološkem kot tudi na fiziološkem nivoju. Makrofiti so hrana za številne ribe in druge vodne živali ter predstavljajo življenjski prostor številnih vrst. Makrofiti varujejo rečne bregove pred erozijo. Privzemajo hranila in s tem vplivajo na kakovost vode. Značilnosti vodnih okolij, ki vplivajo na rast makrofitov, so svetloba, temperatura, hitrost toka, globina vode, vrsta sedimenta, kemizem vode in biološke interakcije.Ključne besede: značilnosti makrofitov, amfibijske rastline, helofiti, vodni ekosistemi ABSTRACT Characteristics of macrophytes and their role in aquatic ecosystemsMacrophytes are aquatic plants that can be seen by the unaided eye in water ecosystems. They grow in or near water and can be emergent (helophytes), submergent, or floating. Term includes the macroalgae like Chara and Nittella. Aquatic macrophytes are very important to healthy aquatic ecosystems. Macrophytes can be categorized based on where and how they grow in water. They are adapted to aquatic conditions on morphological and physiological level. Macrophytes provide a source of food for fish and wildlife and habitat for many species. They protect river banks from wave action and erosion. They absorb nutrients from the water and affect the quality of water. Characteristics of water environment that affect the growing of macrophytes are light, temperature, current velocity, depth of the water, type of sediment, chemistry of water, and biological interactions.

“…By creating microhabitats for periphy ton, fish eggs and shelter for many organisms, macro phytes contribute to higher biodiversity and greater heterogeneity of aquatic ecosystems (Laassen & Nolet 2007, Lampert & Sommer 2007. Macro phytes absorb nutrients from water and effectively purify water quality (Zhou et al 2017). Additionally, they recycle nutrients when they die and decompose.…”

IZVLEČEK Pomen makrofitov v jezerskem ekosistemuV preglednem članku povzemamo temeljne značilnosti makrofitov v jezerskem ekosistemu. Makrofiti so povezoval ni člen med sedimentom, vodo in ozračjem. Vodne rastline vplivajo na zgradbo habitata, prav tako pa so vir avtohtonih snovi, ki so osnova za prehranjevalni splet. Rast vodnih rast lin je odvisna od mnogih okoljskih dejavnikov, ki so med seboj povezani svetloba, temperatura, vodni tok, globina ipd. Za prehod od velike kalnosti do prosojnosti vode v jeze ru sta značilni spremembi v prevladi skupin primarnih pro ducentov in vrst v celotnem prehranjevalnem spletu, kjer namesto prevladujočega fitoplanktona postanejo prevla dujoči primarni producenti submerzni makrofiti ali peri fitonske alge. Makrofiti so pomembni tudi za vrednotenje človekovega vpliva na jezerski ekosistem ter posredno pri izvajanju upravljavskih načrtov za vode.Ključne besede: makrofiti, jezera, fitoplankton, ekološko stanje ABSTRACT The importance of macrophytes in lake ecosystemIn a review paper we summarized the basic features of macrophytes in lake system. Macrophytes present link be tween sediment, water and atmosphere. Primarily aquatic plants determine the structure of habitat and present the vital source of autochthonous matter as a base for food web. The growth of aquatic plants depends on a number of envi ronmental factors, which are linked light, temperature, water flow, depth etc. Transition from high turbidity to the transparency of the water in the lake is characterized by a change in the dominance of primary producers and species throughout the food web, where instead of the dominant phytoplankton the dominant primary producers becomes submerged macrophytes or periphytic algae. Macrophytes are important for evaluating human impact on lake ecosys tems and indirectly in the management plans for water. Makrofiti imajo pomembno vlogo v vodnih ekosiste mih (Flint & Madsen 1995, Luo et al. 2016, saj so povezovalni člen med sedimentom, vodo in ozračjem. S tvorjenjem mikrohabitatov za perifiton, mest za od laganja jajčec rib in skrivališč mnogih organizmov, vplivajo na večjo biodiverziteto in heterogenost vodne ga ekosistema (Klaassen & Nolet 2007, Lampert & Sommer 2007. S svojim koreninskim sistemom in listi absorbirajo hranila in na ta način čistijo vodo (Zhou et al. 2017) ter istočasno povečujejo koncentracijo hranil ko odmrejo in razpadejo. Lahko delujejo kot indika torji kakovosti vode in sodelujejo pri kroženju hranil. Vključeni so v ekosistemske procese kot so biominera lizacija, transpiracija, izpust biogenih plinov v ozračje in sedimentacija (Carpenter & Lodge 1986). Izločajo tudi alelopatske snovi, ki vplivajo na prehranjevalni splet. Zavirajo rast fitoplanktona, bakterioplanktona (Mulderij et al. 2006) in epifitskih alg , Cerbin et al. 2007, Gross et al. 2007, Wu et al. 2007. Raziskovalci so ugotovili, da alelopatski učinki makrofitov lahko vplivajo na velik del sprememb raz položljivega ogljika v jezerih (Hilt & Gross 2008, Hilt 2006, Jürgens & Jeppesen 1998, Cerbin et al. 20...
