The first estimate of diatom indicatory values in Poland is presented. It comprises 455 diatom taxa occurring in ten ecologically different ecosystems: four rivers of various type and degree of pollution, limnocrenic and salty springs, oligotrophic springs, a dam reservoir, a brown coal excavation pit and a peat excavation pit. Indicatory values are used to describe saprobity, trophic conditions, tolerance for pollution, oxygen demand, water alkalinity – pH, salinity, distribution and abundance. The compiled list of diatoms contains information about the conditions that are preferred by a given species, consequently, it may constitute a basis for the biological assessment of water quality.
