ANNOTATION

 

This report summarizes key results of the project "DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING THE STATE AND BIODIVERSITY OF WATER ECOSYSTEMS ON PROTECTED NATURAL TERRITORIES IN THE DNIPRO BASIN".

 

This report presents materials that characterize the contribution of the aerial component in the pollution of BBR ecosystems, radiation environment in the reserve, hydrochemical characteristics of the studied waterways, species diversity and structure of the plankton, periphyton and benthos associations of model biotopes and ecosystems, and levels of productive and destructive processes in BBR’s waterways. Higher water plants as well as the fauna and flora of the riverside zone have been studied. Bioinduction methods that are widely used in hydrobiological research and their applicability in a background monitoring system have been assessed. A concept of functioning of the system of background monitoring of water ecosystems has been developed.
