LUJAIN IBRAHIM HUSSEIN AND FOAD MANHER ALKAM

Abstract

The qualitative and quantitative composition of epiphytic algae from Phragmites australis and Typha sp in the Al-Dalmaj Marsh was calculated for a year (2018-2019), then the diversity index was calculated, namely the Shannon Weaver Index. High values are noted in all seasons. We can say that the water is not polluted, stable and does not suffer from any environmental pressures.
