The present study showed the ecological differentiation of phytocoenoses dominated either by Myriophyllum alterniflorum or by Littorella uniflora, which in Poland are classified within the Myriophylletum alterniflori or Myriophyllo-Littorelletum association. The properties which best differentiated the waters of the above types of phytocoenoses were calcium and factors associated with the carbonate complex (pH, electrolytic conductivity, total and carbonate hardness), and pH in the case of substrates. The most distinct differences in the habitats were found between the phytocoenoses dominated by L. uniflora from the Pomeranian Lobelia lakes and those dominated by M. alterniflorum from the Łęczna-Włodawa Lake District, in which other species from the Littorelletea uniflorae class were absent. The L. uniflora phytocoenoses are associated with soft waters poor in Ca2+ and with the lowest values of pH, electrolytic conductivity, dissolved organic matter (COD-KMnO4) and dissolved SiO2. The substrates they inhabit are mineral and more acidic. By contrast, the values of the above-mentioned properties are considerably higher in the case of the phytocoenoses from the Łęczna-Włodawa Lake District. The habitats of the M. alterniflorum phytocoenoses from the Pomeranian Lobelia lakes occupy an intermediate position and are more similar to those of M. alterniflorum from the Łęczna-Włodawa Lake District. The results obtained in this study suggest that the phytocoenoses of L. uniflora and M. alterniflorum should not be included in the same association. Further studies are, therefore, necessary to resolve this problem. The comparative analysis of the present ecological findings and data obtained from other regions of Europe show that in Poland the phytocoenoses dominated either by L. uniflora or by M. alterniflorum, in which the contribution of Littorelletea uniflorae species is appreciable, are clearly associated with soft waters and their habitats are representative of the Littorelletea uniflorae class. The massive development of the phytocoenoses with both L. uniflora and M. alterniflorum in the Lobelia lakes is not always indicative of the increase in water hardness and euthrophication of waters typical of the communities of the Littorelletea uniflorae class. The M. alterniflorum dominated phytocoenoses without other Littorelletea species could be good indicators of the above processes taking place in such water ecosystems.
Interdisciplinary investigations of 39 lakes of the Lubuskie Lakeland (mid-Western Poland) were undertaken in the vegetation seasons 2002–2009. The aim of presented study was to characterize the significance of charophytes as indicators of habitat differentiation of lakes using the number of species, number of communities and the percentage share in the phytolittoral area. Each lake was characterized based on the results of macrophyte vegetation, vegetation depth extent, pelagic phytoplankton biomass, lakes area, max. depth, SD visibility, pH, conductivity, O₂, total hardness, Ca, Mg, PO₄, TP, NH₄, NO₃, NO₂, N org., TN. The statistical analyses (PCA), revealed that the investigated lakes were differentiated according to the basic morphometrical and physicochemical parameters and that the differentiation was reflected in the percentage share of charophytes in phytolittoral (in general – the bigger, deeper and more clear water were the lakes, the greater part of phytolittoral was covered by charophytes). Using simple cluster analysis based on the number of different types of macrophyte communities (helophytes, elodeids, nymphaeids and charophytes) two distinct groups of lakes were distinguished. Charophyte communities were at most responsible for obtained differentiation (one group with 0 or 1 and second with 1–6 charophyte communities). The distinguished groups of lakes differed significantly as regards 12, out of all 18 considered parameters. The greatest differences were evidenced for area, max. depth, SD visibility, Ca, Mg, NH₄, NO₃, phytoplankton biomass and vegetation depth extent. Similar analyses were made for the number of charophyte species, for which the lakes were divided into four groups (0– 1, 2–3, 4–5 and 6–7 charophyte species per lake). In this case 11 parameters significantly differed between distinguished groups of lakes, showing, that better habitat conditions were in the lakes where more charophyte species were stated. The obtained results revealed that all analyzed charophyte indicators (the number of species, number of communities as well as the percentage share in the phytolittoral area) very clearly reflect habitat variation and water quality of lakes and thus may be used as valuable bioindicators of lakes condition.
