Microphytobenthos of Southern Baikal (Russia)

摘要

Quantitative parameters of microphytobenthos have been obtained on the basis of long-term studies. Dominant structures of communities, seasonal, inter-annual and zonal changes of number and biomass of microphytobenthos under different ecological conditions of Southern Baikal have been analyzed and are caused both by changes in species diversity of algal communities and environmental factors. In seasonal dynamics of microphytobenthos number and biomass spring and summer peaks (with prevalence of the last one) are present.
