The Analysis of Results of Monitoring of Biological Communities in Some Lakes

Abstract

The analysis of dynamics of plankton primary production, biomass of communities of zooplankton and benthos in Lake Krasnoye (Leningrad Oblast) in the period 1964–1984, in Naroch lakes (Belarus) from 1978 to 2010, and in Shchuchiy Bay of Lake Ladoga during the period of its recovery was carried out. Significant relationships between biomass of these communities and plankton primary production were identified; the ratios between the rates of change of heterotroph biomasses and plankton primary production were calculated
