Aquatic macrophytes and phytoplankton of a quarry lake in the upper Vicenza range: preliminary study

Abstract

The work was carried out during 1995 in a quarry-lake and 13 samplings were performed to gather data on the aquatic flora. Sampling locations both along the shores and in the water provided data to define the position and the amount of covering by macrophytes. As regards the microphytes, considered as the sole phytoplankton component, the composition and the seasonal abundance were evaluated.
