Dynamics of Changes in Algae Structures Depending on Seasonal Changes

Abstract

Phytoplankton and phytobenthic groups of algae are of great importance in the process of self-purification of contaminated water bodies. But until recent years, biological factors have not been given due attention in the self-cleaning of rivers, canals, ponds, reservoirs and lakes. According to our observations, representatives of all systematic groups of algae developing in a particular reservoir participate to varying degrees in the processes of self-purification of wastewater. Even species of the same genus are characterized in different ways. This indicates the need for comprehensive and deep floristic studies of the natural algal population of water bodies used as biological ponds - reservoirs, sedimentation tanks and filtration fields.
