THE IMPACT OF FLOODS ON THE COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE OF ZOOBENTHOS OF THE MOUNTAIN RIVERS OF THE NORTH-WESTERN CAUCASU

Abstract

This work shows the changes in the composition and structure of zoobenthos communities in the mountain rivers of the Belaya river basin (the North-West Caucasus), influenced by high water. Discuss how various factors of the environment in the conditions of stream affect zoobenthos communities during high water events. The new concept "hidrotranselimination" is proposed, which reflects a complex influence of high water on zoobenthos communities of stream.
