Abstract

Hydro-morphological modifications have significant effect on the species composition of attached diatom assemblages. The diversity of natural, undisturbed streams is different from that of the hydromorphologically modified (e. g. dammed) water bodies. The proportion of attached against planktonic species indicated very well of the hydromorphological influences (both upstreams and downstreams). In high altitude sampling sites Stephanodiscus minutulus, in middle altitude sampling sites S. hantzschii, S. minutulus and Adlafia minuscula were the indicator species downstream modifications. Gomphonema angustatum was the only significant indicator for the upstream sampling site sin low altitude, medium fine substrata streams. The downstream modifications were signalled by Amphora veneta, Ctenophora pulchella, while lowland damming by Melosira varians and Cocconeis placentula.
