Macrophyte communities
Macrophyte communities were observed and sampled at eighth river sites in late summer 2018.
In two sites, the excavation was done 2 years ago, in three sites four years ago, and in the rest of the sites recent excavations were not done. The river sites differed in macrophyte dominance. In the two recently excavated sites, the development of vegetation is at an early stage. Also, in the sites excavated four years ago, the macrophyte communities were not yet fully developed. As expected, state of some recently excavated sites was poor, but the four years ago restored sections have reached either good or very good status. |
