Abstract

The composition of the Potamogeton flora and its changes during 21 years of vegetation succession in the new water reservoir Rozkoš in East Bohemia are described. Ten species and two hybrids were observed at this locality during this period and in two years preceding the flooding. It seems highly probable that this richness was confined only to a short period during the succession. Diversity was correlated with trophic conditions in the reservoir.
