Twenty-six macrophyte species were studied for their degree of tolerance to extremely acid conditions. They are characteristic of soft water on sandy soils in The Netherlands. These species were divided into two groups based on their recent distribution by pH and alkalinity. The first group consists of the species that can (at least temporarily) survive under extremely acid conditions (pH < 5); the second group contains species that are limited by a distinct minimum pH of the water (pH 5–6). This sharp distinction between groups on.the basis of pH can be used for reconstruction of the development of acidification in waters using historical data on the macrophytes involved. The two groups of species can be used to discriminate between two types of soft water in The Netherlands. Key words: soft-water macrophytes, ecological groups of macrophytes, autecology, acidification, indicator species.

Abstract. LGBT-related hate crime is a conscious act of aggression against an LGBT citizen. The present research investigates associations between hate crime, psychological well-being, trust in the police and intentions to report future experiences of hate crime. A survey study was conducted among 391 LGBT respondents in the Netherlands. Sixteen percent experienced hate crime in the 12 months prior. Compared to non-victims, victims had significant lower psychological well-being, lower trust in the police and lower intentions to report future hate crime. Hate crime experience and lower psychological well-being were associated with lower reporting intentions through lower trust in the police. Helping hate crime victims cope with psychological distress in combination with building trust in the police could positively influence future reporting.
