Abstract

We have studied the malacofauna of the flood-plain of the Murc$ river in the Zam region, using samples taken along a 300 m long transcct on the left bank of the river. There were four characteristic biotopes along the transect: Salicetum albac-fragilis, mowed meadow, unmowed meadow and Salicetum cincrca. There were taken eight samples in each biotopc, using the quadratic method. Our purpose was to find out, if the four biotopes can be differentiated taking into consideration the malacofauna. In the same time, the migration of spccics along the transcct was also examined.We found that along the transcct two fluctuation zones can be differentiated: on the right side of the road, where the species disperse due to the river and to migration, and on the left side of the road, where the species dispersion arises from the nearby forest. The malacofauna indicates the microclimate of the different biotopes. We have represented graphically the quantitative distribution of species and ecological groups, as well as the diversity of the four biotopes. Based on these results, we have established the objectives of future investigations in the region.
