Water quality - Guidance standard for the surveying of aquatic macrophytes in running waters
This European Standard specifies a method for surveying aquatic macrophytes in running waters for the purpose of assessing ecological status, using these organisms as elements of biological quality. The information provided by this method includes the composition and abundance of the aquatic macrophyte flora.
The general principles of the approach described in this European Standard may also be applied when monitoring water bodies in the fluvial corridor of a river, such as side channels and oxbows.
It is recognised that for a complete assessment of ecological status, other elements of biological quality should also be assessed.
Wasserbeschaffenheit - Anleitung für die Untersuchung aquatischer Makrophyten in Fließgewässern
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Untersuchung aquatischer Makrophyten in Fließgewässern mit dem Ziel fest, den ökologischen Zustand von Gewässern mit Hilfe dieser Organismen abzuschätzen, indem diese als Qualitätselemente verwendet werden. Diese allgemeine Information muss die Zusammensetzung und Häufigkeitsverteilung der aquatischen Makrophytenflora berücksichtigen.
Die Grundsätze der in der Europäischen Norm beschriebenen Vorgehensweise können auch für die Überwachung von Gewässerbereichen im Umfeld eines Flusslaufs angewendet werden, z. B. in Seitenkanälen und Altwasserbereichen.
Es ist bekannt, dass zur vollständigen Bewertung des ökologischen Status weitere Aspekte der biologischen Beschaffenheit betrachtet werden sollten.

Surveying will need to be later in the year in northern parts of Europe to take into account localclimatic influences.Comparative surveys in subsequent years should be undertaken at the same time of the year as in previousyears. This will ensure that changes resulting from differential seasonal growth patterns are minimised. Thedevelopment of macrophyte growth in the spring can vary between years as it is highly dependent on waterdepth, physical disturbance, flow regime, solar radiation (photosynthetically active radiation, PAR) and watertemperature. All of these factors can vary significantly between years. For these reasons pilot visits to surveysites are necessary in order to assess the state of development.SIST EN 14184:2003
