The submersed vegetation of mesotrophic, alkaline Chenango Lake in New York, USA, was monitored at two spatio-ternporal scales: a 200m(2) rid censused annually from 1978 to 1993 and again in 2001 (12,800 quadrats), and a 1.8 ha littoral zone sampled every 6-10 years (1978, 1984, 1991, and 2001; 3600 quadrats). The grid vegetation fluctuated rather erratically for the first 11 years with each of the dominant species showing a different pattern of change. Frequency values for Chara vulgaris were the most dynamic, while those for Vallisneria anzericana were the most stable. After 1989, grid vegetation declined, so that by 2001, Only four of the original 11 species were present (including the original dominants), and the total number of observations declined to
