Characteristics of the growth and performance ofPhragmites australisas well as sediment characteristics were investigated along the western shore of Rožmberk fishpond. The reed performance decreased toward the southern end of the shore, proximate to outlets of wastewater effluent and untreated sewage. While the reed stand was closed and looked healthy at the northern end, gaps occurred within the flooded part of the reed belt further southwards; reed was absent in water along the southernmost part of the shore, though dead shoot stubble indicated its presence in earlier times. In the latter site, the surface layer of sediment consisted of fine mud with a high organic matter content and a high oxygen demand. To a smaller extent, patches of partly decomposed reed litter inside the gaps showed the same properties. It is suggested that organic matter accumulating within the flooded part of the reed belt may have reduced plant performance which ultimately lead to the formation of gaps. At a later stage, the lakeside fringe of the reed belt collapsed, thus completing the retreat of reed from water. A protective effect of calcium against the adverse effects of organic matter is suggested.
