“…The relationship with pH revealed in our study may indirectly reflect differences in either alkalinity or productivity. Vestergaard & Sand-Jensen (2000b) and Sass et al (2010) showed that pH and alkalinity are usually positively correlated and of key importance in determining macrophyte community composition. We cannot fully exclude the possibility that the relationship with pH may be influenced by productivity, but the monthly data do not indicate an increase in pH during the period with high macrophyte coverage or a higher pH in lakes with high coverage or chlorophyll a (unpubl.…”

“…The majority of these other studies are concerned with the relationships between macrophytes and water quality in bodies of water (Pietsch, 1972;Wiegleb, 1978;Babalonas, 1993a, 1993b;Luka´cs et al, 2009;Lumbreras et al, 2008). Many authors take into account the general limnological conditions in a lake, such as its morphometry (size and shape of the lake basin) and/or geographical coordinates, when investigating the occurrence of aquatic plants and their communities (Vestergaard and Sand-Jensen, 2000;Heegaard et al, 2001;Ma¨kela¨et al, 2004;McElarney and Rippey, 2009;Free et al, 2009;Del Pozo et al, 2010;Sass et al, 2010). The present studies were consistently conducted within dense stands of macrophytes from which the water and substrate samples were taken for analysis and the particular properties were determined.…”

-The habitats of 356 phytocoenoses dominated by 15 species of aquatic plants were investigated. Among the properties of water, Na + , pH, total Fe, Ca 2+ , NO 3 x , SO 4 2x , hardness and COD-KMnO 4 were the most important in differentiating the habitats of the phytocoenoses studied. Considerable physicochemical differences were found between the waters of the phytocoenoses of Ranunculus circinatus (hard waters rich in Na + ), Nuphar pumila (soft waters with high levels of total Fe), Elodea canadensis, Ceratophyllum demersum (alkaline waters) and Stratiotes aloides (waters containing high concentrations of Ca 2+ and SO 4 2x ). The substrate properties that best differentiated the habitats compared were PO 4 3x , hydration, organic matter content, total N, dissolved SiO 2 , Ca 2+ , Na + and pH. Patches of R. circinatus inhabited substrates containing the highest levels of PO 4 3x . Those of S. aloides were associated with substrates poor in PO 4 3x . Patches of C. demersum were confined to substrates rich in total N. Phytocoenoses of R. circinatus were associated with large lakes, whereas those of N. pumila were restricted mostly to smaller lakes. The deepest parts of lakes were inhabited by Potamogeton lucens. Phytocoenoses of S. aloides occurred mostly in shallow waters, on thick sediments. The investigated phytocoenoses also represent different stages of succession. The phytocoenoses of Potamogeton perfoliatus, R. circinatus, Myriophyllum spicatum and Polygonum amphibium, which develop on mineral substrates, initiate the process of succession, whereas those of Myriophyllum verticillatum, Nymphaea candida, Nymphaea alba, N. pumila and S. aloides, which inhabit highly hydrated organic substrates, are characteristic of the late stages of succession.

, Tel : 00229 67 118 979. RESUME L'impact des pressions anthropiques sur les écosystèmes aquatiques du bassin cotonnier du Bénin a été évalué d'octobre à décembre 2012. L'objectif est de déterminer la qualité écologique des ruisseaux du bassin de la rivière Alibori par l'étude des peuplements de macroinvertébrés. Au moyen d'un filet troubleau, les macroinvertébrés ont été échantillonnés dans 12 stations réparties dans les ruisseaux du bassin moyen de la rivière. L'inventaire de la macrofaune benthique récoltée a permis de disposer de 25 espèces d'invertébrés aquatiques appartenant à 16 familles et 7 ordres. Ils sont constitués de trois classes qui sont les Insectes (5 ordres, 12 familles et 20 espèces), les Gastéropodes (1 ordre, 3 familles et 4 espèces) et les Lamellibranches (Bivalves) (1 ordre, 1 famille et 1 espèce). L'analyse de la structure de la communauté des taxons grâce à SOM sur la base de la matrice de présence-absence a révélé une répartition spatiale indiquant que les différentes stations ont eu en commun une grande partie de la faune benthique mais se sont différenciées par un nombre limité de taxons qui ont caractérisé chaque station. Six paramètres environnementaux ont discriminé cette répartition observée. L'abondance de certains groupes benthiques comme les Diptères et les Coléoptères dans les ruisseaux montre que le bassin cotonnier du Bénin est soumis aux perturbations anthropiques. © 2016 International Formulae Group.

The objective of this work is to determine the streams quality of Alibori basin by studying of benthic macroinvertebrates. A sample of macroinvertebrates was collected at 12 stations in the streams of the basin of the Alibori River. The inventory of the collected benthic macrofauna displayed a total of 25 species of water invertebrates belonging 16 families and 7 orders. These orders consisted of three classes: the Insects (5 orders, 12 families and 20 species), the Gastropods (1 order, 3 families and 4 species) and Bivalve (1 order, 1 family and 1 species). The analysis of the presence-absence of taxa obtained through SOM revealed a space distribution which indicates that the various sampling stations had in common a great part of benthic fauna and that their differences lie in a limited number of taxa which were specific to each sampling site. Six environmental parameters have discriminated this observed distribution. The abundance of some benthic groups such as Diptera and Coleoptera in the streams during the period of study shows that this basin is subject to anthropogenic disturba...
