Abstract: Adopted in 2010 in the European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD) established a hydromorphological parameters as supporting the biological assessment of the ecological status of waters. The aim of this study was to show the relationships between various hydromorphological indices, which synthesize habitat, and water plants in upland and mountain rivers. Studies have shown a significant correlations between most of the analyzed hydromorphological parameters and indices associated with macrophytes. The river modifications and low naturalness of habitats limited the growth of macrophytes in rivers in hilly and mountainous areas, and had positive effect on the growth of macroscopic algae.
