The algal community of a recently rehabilitated wetland in Barberton (Summit County), Ohio was examined three years after extensive dredging efforts. The wetland is divided into two, ca. 2 ha pools both fed by a 10 ha quarried lake. Four planktonic (open water) samples (1-2 m depth) and four metaphytic (tychoplanktonic and epiphytic) samples from each pool were collected biweekly from June 2 through August 14, the time of maximum productivity in the system. A total of 97 algal taxa were recorded. Algal abundance and biovolume estimates indicated that planktonic communities were dominated by chlorophytes. Cyanophytes were typically the second most abundant algae, followed by diatoms and euglenophytes. Chrysophytes, cryptophytes, and pyrrophytes were never prevalent and were absent on several sampling dates. Chlorophytes and cyanophytes were the dominant metaphytic algae, with chrysophytes, cryptophytes, and pyrrophytes poorly represented. The three dominant algal divisions had similar diversity values and the most abundant divisions had a greater than 90% similarity between the two sites.
