the phytoplanktonic algal flora of Elmali Dam Lake was carried out between June
2008 and February 2009 in a monthly basis. A total of 31 taxa were identified
belonging to </span> <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Bacillariophyta
(13), Charophyta (2), Chlorophyta (7), Cyanobacteria (2), Cryptophyta (1),
Miozoa (2) and Euglenophyta (4) divisions. Diatoms, green algae and
euglenophyts constituted majority of the phytoplankton in terms of species
number. According to functional groups classification, the phytoplankton
composition of Elmali Dam Lake constituted of B, D, N, P, X1, Y, F, J, H1, L <sub>O </sub>,
M, MP, T <sub>B </sub>, W1 and W2 groups. The presence of mesotrophic and
eutrophic species indicated that the lake is changing to eutrophic
characteristics in terms of trophic structure. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Erzincan Binali Yildirim University}
