The aim of this study was to recognize the relationships between the physical characteristics of river reaches and the supported macrophyte assemblage, using the newly developed RHS (River Habitat Survey) method and dataset, and to test the following specific hypotheses: 1) whether there are correlations between the abundance of macrophyte groups and the physical environment variables, and 2) whether these relationships vary between macrophyte groups with different morphology types. The Tamiš river possesses a highly diverse habitat potential, while high values of HMS capture obviously to significantly modified habitat classes, significantly distinguishing the R1 and L1 spot-check as a hot spot along the area studied.
