Lake Manzala is one of the Deltaic Mediterranean lakes in Egypt. It comprises over 1000 islands of various sizes, the vegetation of which is halophytic. Seven community types are described, dominated by: Phragmites australis, Juncus acutus, J. rigidus, Arthrocnemum macrostachyum, Atriplex portulacoi

β¦ Synopsis
A fragile plant cover has developed during the last two decades along the shores of Lake Nasser, the largest impoundment of the River Nile. Development of this vegetation has been influenced by the prevailing environmental factors. The statistical methods (ordination and classification techniques) emphasise the groups of species and elucidate their distribution within the environmental gradients. The applied methods indicate that the distribution of the species is strongly related to the moisture gradient. Some of the soil parameters also contribute to the gradient. The geographical gradient in the distribution of the species is less pronounced.
