Peculiarities of phytoplankton structure of river ecosystems of the Prypiat River and the Teteriv River, the main rivers of Polissya, are discussed. The main tendencies of the autotrophic part of Polissya rivers are revealed. In total 621 algal species (660 infraspecific taxa) from 14 classes, 35 orders, 81 families and 217 genera were identified in the rivers during 2003–2020. Among them 51 taxa with a rank below the genus are new to Ukrainian Polissya. The main abiotic parameters that cause in the structural characteristics of phytoplankton of the studied watercourses are determined. The bioindication analysis of phytoplankton species composition of river ecosystems and the assessment of their water quality is carried out.
