Six lakes in Sweden were studied. Water chemistry and sediments were examined, along with the decomposer community. The rooted plants of greatest importance in these lakes are Lobelia dortmanna and Littorella uniflora, Isoetes lacustris and Isoetes echinospora. Among the effects of acidification on rooted aquatics, the indirect ones are of major importance. The most striking effect on macrophytes is the development of peat moss Sphagnum as a submergent rather than as a terrestrial plant in the lakes. 21 references, 10 figures.
