Recent changes in the emergent macrophyte zone along the eastern shore of Lake Biwa's South Basin were investigated by field surveys in 1987 and 1995. Phragmites australis was the most dominant species at most sites. Comparison with the published literature revealed that the decline of emergent macrophyte zone had started since about 1981. The area had decreased from 62.6 ha in 1981, to 24.6 ha in 1995. This rapid decline was mainly caused by the destruction of habitats by an embankment along the shoreline. Other enviromental stresses associated with changes in water quality and large water level fluctuations were considered to be potential causes of the decline .
