During field research of phytocenic characteristics of the river Moravica flow and the influence of anthropogenic pollution, the presence of the following hydro-phytic biocenoses has been established: Floating macrophytes ass. Lemnetum minoris Oberd. 1960 and submersed macrophytes Myriophyllo-Potametum Soo 1934. Based on physicochemical water analyses and ecological indexes, these biocenoses belong to transitional group of mesotrophic and eutrophic biocenoses which develop in water highly saturated with mineral substances (highly polluted waters). Biocenosis Lemnetum minoris with differentiating species Lemna minor matches - meso - saprogenic waters. These biocenoses grow in both mid and upper river flow.

The results of researches of the degree of metals (Fe and Cu) of accumulation in certain species aquatic macrophytes and their organs which sampled in three lakes near city Kragujevac are exposed in this study. The results show variability of the degree of accumation of Fe and Cu among species, their organs and researched localities, and capacity of some aquatic macrophytes species and their organs which accumulate high level of mentioned metals from aquatic environment. Results obtained in this reserches pointed important role of macrophytes vegetation in bioindication and phytoremediation, and ability for use for monitoring pollutants, in studies of quality aquatic ecosystems and their protection, repairing and revitalization.

Aquatic macrophytes are exceptional accumulations of heavy metals and they are very important in phytoremediation of the pollutants. The aim of the survey was to show according to content of heavy metals in aquatic macrophytes DTD (Danube-Tisza-Danube) canal complex, at localities under great human influence indicate the situation of chemical contamination these localities and to define test species, actually the ones that have the greatest accumulation. Plant material was prepared according to the Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater of the American Health Association. Analysis of heavy metals in the plant tissue samples was done by standard methods using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The best accumulator of majority of heavy metals is Ceratophyllum demersum. The results show that mentioned species can be used for removal of heavy metals from water, what means that it has the ability of phytoremediation of pollutants.

Investigation in this study should indicate to importance of aquatic macrophytes in accumulation of toxic metals in aquatic ecosystems and control of their pollution, as well as to indicate which plants are well hyperaccumulators and test species for remediation, in order of protection, regeneration and conservation of the Gruza lake as reservoir that is important for water supply and as particular natural ecosystem.

During the research of the flora of the river Moravica methodology of ass. Scirpo-Phragmitetum, Koch 1926, subass. typhetosum latifoliae, Pignotti 1953, with differential typa Typha latifolia with related marshy plants was applied. The community is developed as small units in the lower flow of the river Moravica (the part flowing through the town Aleksinac), where the anthropogenic influences are significant due to the empting of the sewage and industrial polluted waters of the town Aleksinac. Many diffuse forms of pollution are also present, particularly in the form of illegal dumps. Waste waters represent serious load on the recipient river and influence qualitative and quantitative content of the phytocenosis. Ecological index of the community shows change in water quality and presence of organic substances (above all nitrogen compounds) in the water and the riverbed ass. Scirpo-Phragmitetum, Koch 1926, subass. typhetosum latifoliae, Pignotti 1953, which indicates the riverbed loaded with organic substances (mezotrophic plants, N=3.50)

The contents of heavy metals (Mn, Pb, and Cd) in water, sediments and shoots of emersed plants Phragmites communis, Typha latifolia and Typha angustifolia in the area of Bardaca fish pond were analyzed. Species Typha latifolia has shown the best ability for the bioaccumulation of heavy metals tested. Therefore, this species could be recommended as the phytoremediator of these pollutants from polluted waters. The results of this study indicate that the accumulation of tested elements in the water, and their availability to plants are still far from the critical level which may cause disturbance of balans in the Bardaca ecosystem.
