Authors:	Żelazna-Wieczorek Joanna Ziułkiewicz Maciej
Abstract:	Studies of epipsammic diatoms in a limnocrenic spring and an analysis of their habitat conditions were carried out between 2003 and 2005. A total of 225 diatom taxa were identified in the studied spring, and high dynamism in the diatom community was observed during the study. Based on the autecology of the identified diatom taxa, determined according to Van Dam et al. 1994, in comparison with the habitat characteristics determined by the physicochemical water analysis, it was established that diatoms belonging to constancy class V are the best for determining conditions in the studied habitat. Correlation analysis of the participation of the dominants and subdominants of consecutive samples with fifteen physicochemical water parameters revealed the relationship between the reactions of thirteen diatom representatives to changing physicochemical parameters despite their narrow range of changeability in the spring.
