TI  - Phytoplankton functional groups provide a quality assessment method by the Q assemblage index in Lake Mogan (Turkey)
AB  - Te aim of this research is to test the Q phytoplankton assemblage index based on phytoplankton functional groups in LakeMogan and to provide a quality state estimation by data from 2006. Phytoplankton was sampled at 2 stations of the lake, paralleledwith physical (water temperature, Secchi depth, pH, conductivity) and chemical (DO, chlorophyll-a , alkalinity, total hardness, solublereactive phosphorus, total phosphorus, NO 2-N, NO3 -N, NH 3 -N) analyses. Te Q index was able to follow the main seasonal changes ofthe physical and chemical parameters and indicated a moderate ecological status for Lake Mogan. Phytoplankton biomass varied between0.75 and 10.12 mg/L in the research period, and provided a similar ecological state by Q index, chlorophyll- a, total phosphorus, and Secchidepth. A total of 76 phytoplankton species were identifed in the study period, belonging to 12 functional groups. Te seasonal successionof dominant functional groups followed this sequence of coda: X2 (Chlamydomonas), Lo (Merismopedia, Peridinium , Chroococcus), F(Botryococcus, Sphaerocystis, Oocystis, Planktosphaeria), S1 (Phormidium , Planktothrix), M (Microcystis), and F (Botryococcus, Oocystis).
