In different rivers the communities of different types and peculiar structure are formed, and dominant complexes also were different. In the gradient of the rivers' elevation and size, the shape of the dominance/diversity curves gradually changes. For the large rivers on the foothills the curves close to type A are character, and the curves in small rivers in the highlands can be conditionally assigned to B type, whereas in other rivers the shape of the type C is character. %8 2019-08-09
