  abstract = {{A} large spectrum of coastal lagoon types with a wide range of environmental conditions is observed along the {F}rench {M}editerranean coast. {T}hese comprise wide trophic and salinity gradients, ranging from oligotrophic to hypertrophic status, and from nearly freshwater to slightly above marine {M}editerranean {S}ea water salinities, respectively. {T}he statistical analysis of a long-term dataset, including water column variables and observations of macrophyte genera, showed that salinity, depth, and then trophic status, were important factors explaining the distribution of benthic macrophytes for the soft-bottom sediments in the 34 studied {F}rench {M}editerranean lagoons. {B}ased on this, we assumed that the vegetation succession along the eutrophication gradient was different according to the lagoon salinity ranges. {E}uhaline and polyhaline lagoons follow the well-known {S}chramm schematic model, where aquatic angiosperm such as seagrasses dominate under oligotrophic conditions, and opportunistic macroalgae and phytoplankton dominate under eutrophic and hypertrophic conditions. {I}n oligohaline and mesohaline lagoons, the succession is probably an intermediate scheme between the successions observed in small temperate lakes and in marine coastal ecosystems due to the presence of both brackish and freshwater species. {W}e thus propose a conceptual scheme for the oligohaline and mesohaline lagoons.},
