Abstract

Our study was made in the Satu-Mare County near Turţ Băi village, in three permanent and temporarily ponds. The period of the researches was during April and May 2005. The three ponds are situated at different altitudes and have different positions in the forest. It comes out that the P1 and P3 sample sites have very alike macrozoobenthic invertebrate communities, because of the almost similar environmental factors. The differences are due especially to the different altitude of the two ponds. The P2 sample site is the most different and poor in species because the great human impact. So the structure of the macrozoobenthic in these communities depends on the environmental factors as the temperature of the water and air and also on the human impact which is acting by polluting the pond water.
