The phytoplankton community in three stations at Samarra Reservoir was studied seasonally. A total of 149 taxa were identified, ten of which were new additions to the Iraqi flora. The density ranged from 0.43 to 18.56 10³ ind. cm-³, Bacillariophyceae were found to be the dominant group. Variation in species dominance between seasons and stations was observed. The density of phytoplankton, chlorophyll ɑ concentration, and the share of Cyanophyta and Euglenophyta were higher at the station polluted with municipal sewage.

Zespół fitoplanktonu trzech stanowisk badano w kilku sezonach. Oznaczono 149 taksonów, w tym dziesięć nowych dla flory Iraku. Zagęszczenie wahało się w granicach 0.43-18.56 10³ ind. cm-³, dominującą grupą były okrzemki. Obserwowano dominację różnych gatunków w poszczególnych sezonach i na różnych stanowiskach. Zagęszczenie fitoplanktonu, stężenie chlorofilu ɑ, oraz udział sinic i euglenin były większe na stanowisku zanieczyszczonym ściekami komunalnymi.
