Quality and quantity structure of planktonie ciliates showed visible differences between studied zones; the highest species diversity and abundance were observed in the ecotone (water/water). The lowest species diversity and abundance were noted in the Bystrzyca River. Independent on the zone, ciliates community was dominated by bacterivorous species with the lowest proportions of algivorous tax a. The present study showed that density of protozooplankton rose with the increase of nutrients delivery and TOC concentration in water.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of Water Chemistry on the Structure of Planktonie Ciliate Communities Across a Freshwater Ecotone in the Eutrophic Dam Reservoir (Eastern Poland)}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123197/PDF/8_AE_VOL_34_4_2008_Mieczan_Influence.pdf}, keywords={dam reservoir, ecotone, ciliates}, }
