Abstract
Substantial variability was found in the water chemistry of 22 norther n Apennine lakes. In a group of lakes there is evidence of disturbance linked to eutrophication processes. Other lakes showed weak ion conce ntrations and alkalinity below the acidification risk threshold. Howev er no acidified lakes were found. The lack of waterbodies with severel y altered hydrochemistry may explain why no clear relationship between plankton community structure and water chemistry was observed.
