Özet

The seasonal variations in the diversity, composition and species richness of phytoplankton in a shallow lake (Gici Lake, Turkey) were studied between January 2000 and April 2001. Samples were collected monthly from surface water and deeper (I m depth) stations and species richness and diversity (Shannon-Wiener, H) were measured. Indices were calculated using biovolume. Climatic changes, especially rainfall, mixing conditions, and relative water column stability were found to be important factors affecting the seasonal variation observed.
