Large layers of carbonate rocks in Opole region for years serve as an exploitation material for the cement-lime industry. The mining results in numerous post-exploitation reservoirs, which biocenosis is poorly known. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of the environmental features on the distribution of macroinvertebrates and the community structure, and to present the significance of these water bodies for regional biodiversity. The research was carried out between June and November 2010 at eight reservoirs. Altogether 66 taxa were found, although only from 12 to 38 were recorded in particular reservoirs. The widespread and abundant were dipterans Chironomidae, dragonflies Ishnura sp. and Coenagrion sp., and mayflies Caenis sp. and Cloeon sp., especially numerous in charales meadows. Based on faunistic similarity, three groups of reservoirs were distinguished, which differed in size, character of a littoral zone and origin of waters (underground vs surface).

Duże pokłady skał węglanowych, występujące w regionie Opola, stanowią od lat materiał eksploatacyjny dla rozwijającego się tu przemysłu cementowo-wapienniczego. Wynikiem prowadzonych prac wydobywczych są liczne zbiorniki poeksploatacyjne margli i wapieni, których biocenoza jest słabo poznana. Głównym celem badań było poznanie fauny dennej oraz określenie wpływu cech środowiskowych na rozmieszczenie organizmów i strukturę zespołów, a także ukazanie znaczenia zbiorników antropogenicznych w zachowani bioróżnorodności w regionie. Badania prowadzono w okresie czerwiec-listopad 2010 r. Objęto nimi osiem zbiorników. Ogółem w faunie dennej odnotowano przedstawicieli 66 taksonów, przy czym w poszczególnych zbiornikach reprezentowanych było od 12 do 38. Największą stałość występowania, a jednocześnie największy udział w zespołach, miały muchówki Chironomidae, ważki Ishnura sp. i Coenagrion sp. oraz jętki Caenis sp. i Cloeon sp., szczególnie liczne w siedliskach łąk ramienicowych. Na podstawie analizy podobieństwa faunistycznego wyodrębnione zostały trzy grupy zbiorników, które różniły się pod względem wielkości, charakteru strefy brzegowej i pochodzenia wód (podziemne vs powierzchniowe).
