Average annual water velocities with minimum and maximum values at different microhabitats in Plitvice Lakes NP located in: (a) upper lotic habitats (springs and downstream sections) and (b) tufa barriers and lower lotic habitats. Abbreviations of the study sites are presented in Figure 1. Legend: S1 = cobbles, S2 = angiosperms, S3 = mosses, S4 = sand, S5 = silt with leaf litter.
