Abstract: The distribution and abundance of macrophytes, land-use beyond the riparian zone, characteristics of the riparian zone and selected channel properties have been studied in 9 streams flowing through an agricultural landscape in the north-eastern part of Slovenia. The streams studied supported a rich macrophyte community. Altogether, 53 plant taxa were observed on 93 km of the streams. Canonical correspondence analysis indicated that 10 out of the 11 parameters examined significantly influenced macrophyte distri… Show more

“…Considering differences in sampling area, comparable species richness has been reported in European mountain streams without human impact [1,2,4,8,23] including Slovak streams [16]. A slightly higher richness was recorded in Western Europe whereas the lowest species number per sampling site was detected in the Carpathian streams [2,4].…”

“…It is likely that, sufficient amount of light and appropriate hydrological conditions for macrophytes are partially responsible for a positive correlation between species richness of macrophytes and portion of artificial banks. The other ecological variables such as the distance from stream source, ammonium content in water, depth of water, water conductivity, flexuosity, portion of natural land cover in stream contact zone and flow velocity class were shown to influence both species composition and richness of macrophytes in streams by earlier studies [5,8,15,27], demonstrating a comprehensive effect of several ecological variables on species richness of macrophytes in streams.…”

“…Studies on the factors that control the aquatic macrophyte occurrence patterns have focused on topographic factors (Pedersen et al 2006) or current velocity and sediment grain size (Regina 1992;Baattrup-Pedersen and Riis 1999;Cotton et al 2006;Gurnell et al 2006;Hauer and Lamberti 2006;Kuhar et al 2007). However, the effects of nutrient loads on aquatic macrophytes in river ecosystems have been examined less often.…”
