eng	Coal mine reclamation – The effect of periphyton on productivity and phosphorus cycling in oligotrophic post-mining lakes	One of the ways of a coal mine reclamation is a flooding the post-mining area. This procedure gives rise an oligotrophic lakes with an antropogenetic origin. Since there are many areas, which are planned to be recultivated this way, better understanding of the lake´s ecosystem is needed. In published hydrological studies on this topic, less attention has been paid to the investigation of periphyton than of plankton, although periphyton forms significantly higher biomass there. Periphyton performs numerous functions such as nutrient cycling and self-purification of aquatic ecosystems. There is a unique series of three anthropogenic oligotrophic lakes of gradual successional age, which were created during the recultivation after coal mining in Czech Republic. Our proposed project is focused on dynamics of the development of periphyton, its primary production, diversity and function in the nutrient cycling, with a special focus on the fate of phosphorus, which is the limiting nutrient in investigated lakes.	periphyton; post-mining; phosphorus; oligothropic lake; nutient cycling
