The aim of the research is to quantify the changes in the amount, composition, structure and
functional diversity of the phytoplankton in the River Danube on the scale of decades in
relation to climatic and anthropogenic effects, to analyse the responses of the communities to

Szigetköz also known as the inner delta of the River Danube where we analyse the changes in
the functional diversity in the aspect of the anthropogenic interventions.
