STUDY OF MACROPHYTE DIVERSITY FROM THE RESERVOIRS

Abstract: The present work is an attempt to the study of Macrophyte diversity from Shivaji University campus reservoirs. They showed total number of 106 species from 60 families with 4 different groups of vegetation viz. algae, bryophyte, pteridophyte and angiosperms. The macrophytes are also classified on the basis of their habitat status. The results of the study reveal that the highest percent contribution to the macrophytes is protected by angiosperms. The species which have marginal habitat status are dominant in present work. According to present study Rajaram reservoir having great macrophyte diversity
