The community of phytoplankton, dominant species and environmental factor were investigated in Motjae-neup from January to September, 1996. A total 45 taxa were identified during the investigation period and composed of 5 classes, 8 orders, 13 families, 24 genera, 37 species, 6 varieties, 2 formation. The most important group was Chlorophyceae with 19(42.2%) taxa, followed by the Bacillariophyceae with 13(28.9%) taxa, Euglenophyceae with 7(15.6%) taxa, Cyanophyceae with 5(11.1%) taxa and Dinophyceae with 1(2.2%) taxon. Frustulia rhomboides, Eunotia lunaris, and Stauroneis anceps were important dominant species at Motjae-neup. The common species of all season are Microsystis aeruginosa, Melosira. varians, Frustulia rhomboides, Pinnularia braunii var. amphicephala, Stauroneis anceps. Ranges of environmental factors were measured : temperature, $3^{\circ}C{\sim}38^{\circ}C$; water temperature, $3.3^{\circ}C{\sim}26.5^{\circ}C$; pH, 5.7~6.38; BOD, $4.3{\sim}19.6mg/{\ell}$; chlorophyll a, $6.9mg/m^3{\sim}25.9mg/m^3$; SS, $26mg/{\ell}{\sim}52mg/{\ell}$; COD, $24{\sim}46mg/{\ell}$; total-N, $0.9538mg/{\ell}{\sim}2.3036mg/{\ell}$; total-P, $0.1057mg/{\ell}{\sim}0.1909mg/{\ell}$; electron conductivity, $25.5{\mu}s/m^3{\sim}2.3036{\mu}s/m^3$.

In a survey of periphytic and benthic diatoms in Korea, diatoms of genus Stauroneis were found to be widely distributed over freshwaters, rivers and streams, lakes and reservoir, wetlands in lowland and mountain areas, and even subaerial terrestrial habitats. However, it is clear that Stauroneis diatoms prefer peatlands, which can be more or less acidic or oligotrophic environments in freshwaters. In this study, Staurones diatoms were collected mainly from mountain peatlands. Twenty five taxa were confirmed to be species, while some specimens remain unidentified. Approximately twenty species have been reported in Korea in the past, but these are largely S. anceps Ehremberg sensu lato, S. phoenicenteron (Nitzsch) Eherenberg sensu lato, and their infraspecies variety or forma. Sixteen of the twenty five Stauroneis taxa found in this survey are reported for the first time in Korea.
