Abstract. Water resources and associated ecosystems are becoming highly endangered due to ongoing global environmental changes. Spatial ecological modelling is a promising toolbox for understanding the past, present future distribution diversity patterns in groundwater-dependent ecosystems, such as fens, springs, streams, reed beds or wet grasslands. Still, lack of detailed water chemistry maps prevents use reasonable models be applied on continental scales. Being major determinants...
The class Montio-Cardaminetea includes vegetation of springs with constant water flow.These habitats, which function as islands for highly specialized and sensitive biota, are endangered by ongoing landscape climatic changes.Although a harmonized classification into units is necessary effective habitat conservation, there currently no synthetic the Montio-Cardaminetea.Here large set vegetation-plot records was obtained from national private databases.The aim to validate EuroVegChecklist...
Abstract The biodiversity of algal communities and environmental conditions were investigated in the springs Mt. Konjuh. assemblages 20 emerging from different lithologies (limestones ophiolites, respectively) comprised 234 taxa. Diatoms cyanobacteria most species-rich groups. common alkaliphilic, circumneutral, eutraphentic diatoms represented by genera Gomphonema , Nitzschia Navicula Cymbella Achnanthidium cyanobacterial genus Phormidium . Hierarchical clustering SIMPROF analysis based on...
Multi-purpose reservoir Modrac is the most important water resource in Tuzla canton. Ecologically acceptable flow on dam not adjusted with latest Rulebook about methods of determining ecologically flow. This article shows used to determine dam, respecting fact that declared as protected resource. The given calculation made for II level evaluation.
Tufa deposits in karst rivers are unique habitats created by mutual interactions between specific environmental and biotope features inhabited diatoms as a highly abundant diverse algal group. This pilot study aimed to investigate the diversity of diatom communities on tufa depositing assess Una River’s ecological status using comparative molecular morphological approach for identification. The 312 base pairs rbcL gene were barcoded analyzed MiSeq reads amplicon sequence variants (ASVs)...
Microbial mats represent complex communities where cyanobacteria and diatoms as key organisms provide shelter for diverse assemblages of aquatic invertebrates, like the small stygophilous amphipod Synurella ambulans . Studies addressing such in karst springs have rarely examined springheads, ignored intermittent springs. During high flow conditions stygophilic crustaceans are flushed to surface a temporary stream Krčić microbial prevent their drift enables successful retreat into underground...
Biodiversity of diatoms and applicability diatom indices in biomonitoring based on littoral epiphytic samples Lake Modrac were investigated. Diatoms taken mostly from Phragmites australis stems 2017, during which physical chemical parameters the water measured. A total 85 taxa identified. Gomphonema (13 spp.), Navicula (11 Nitzschia (8 spp.) most abundant genera. Obtained values trophic (TID, TvD, TDIL) pointed to meso- eutrophic status for localities, while IBD, EPI, ?D, IPS indicated good...

 Springs are recognized as hotspots for freshwater biodiversity conservation. The study objective was to analyze and compare the of epilithic diatom communities spring stream habitats in Konjuh Mountain (B&H). measuring basic water physical chemical parameters sampling were carried out during summer autumn period 2013.
 Diatom assemblages collected from 10 locations: (i) five locations placed small mountain springs that flow into...
Abstract. Water resources and associated ecosystems are becoming highly endangered due to ongoing global environmental changes. Spatial ecological modelling is a widely used tool for understanding the past, present future distribution diversity patterns in groundwater-dependent ecosystems, such as fens, springs, streams, reed beds or wet grasslands. Still, lack of detailed water chemistry maps prevents their reasonable use on continental scales. Being major determinants biological...
Multi-purpose reservoir Modrac is the most important water resource in Tuzla canton( northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina). Ecologically acceptable flow on dam not adjusted with latest Rulebook about methods of determining ecologically flow. upstream downstream Spreca river categorized as a protected due to its susceptibility eutrophication according current legislation, requires second level assessment. This paper shows used determine dam, respecting fact that declared resource. The given...
A study of the vascular flora aquatic and amphibious habitats along Modrac reservoir adjacent marshes, Šerićka bara, Mosorovac bara was conducted during vegetation season 2018. In total, 68 plant species from 36 families were identified. The with highest taxa Cyperaceae Lamiaceae, most numerous genera Carex Mentha. dominant life forms hemicryptophytes hydrophytes, while in chorological analysis dominated Euroasian floral elements. Generalists, pioneers secondary succession, competitive...

Epipelic diatom communities were studied in the Šerićka bara marsh northeast Bosnia and Herzegovina throughout 2009.During spring summer a total of 57 species was found at 6 sampling points.The highest number noted for genera Gomphonema (8) Nitzschia (5).The most abundant Melosira varians C.Agardh, Gyrosigma acuminatum (Kützing) Rabenhorst, Lemnicola hungarica (Grunow) F.E.Round &
Benthic diatoms have gained prominence as environmental bioindicators since the beginning of twentieth century. Epilithic diatom taxa are frequently used for ecological water-quality assessments rivers. Diversity these dominant group protists in benthic communities can be indicative changes freshwater ecosystem. The aim this study was to analyze diversity and ecology Spreča River on locations affected by urban industrial pollution. Field sampling epilithic carried out period May 2021 at two...
