The EU Water Framework Directive requires ecological status to be defined based on the deviation of biological communities away from low impacted reference status. The first step in developing an ecological assessment system is therefore to establish and define type-specific reference communities. Sixty-nine candidate reference lakes were sampled in the Republic of Ireland. Four groups were identified by cluster analysis and a CCA ordination revealed alkalinity, lake area and altitude to be significant determinants of the species data.
