Abstract
The Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires the assessment of the ecological status of water bodies through monitoring biological, chemical and hydro-morphological elements and also their restoration on the watershed scale. For phytoplankton, Greece applies the Hellenic Phytoplankton Assessment System for Natural Lakes (HeLPhy) to classify the ecological status of natural deep warm monomictic and shallow polymictic lakes as HeLPhy responds to eutrophication pressure (Tsiaoussi et al., 2017). Phytoplankton has traditionally been one of the dominant elements in lake assessment and thus has played an important role in the development of WFD-compliant assessment systems (Poikane et al., 2015) such as HeLPhy. Aims of the study: to present the inter-annual variations of phytoplankton composition (by means of biovolume) and of the HeLPhy values in 14 natural lakes from 2016 to 2021 and to investigate similarities among the lakes’ ecological status based on phytoplankton taxonomic groups.
