A new charophyte habitat with a stabilized good ecological potential of mine water

Abstract Each newly-created pond which is supplied with mine water gives the opportunity to study a unique ecosystem in context of possible conditions for biotic live. Therefore, this research aimed to assess a phytoplankton-based ecological potential against the trophic conditions and the risk of c...

The gradual decrease in turbidity-related variables (including suspended solids and iron) and nutrients, on the one hand, and an increase in phytoplankton-related indicators, on the other hand, were the most evident.
