Competition of Plant Associations in Water Reservoirs

摘要

Replacement of algae from lower areas (aboriginals) by algae from upper areas (newcomers) in summer is studied. The main reason for replacement is related to the fact that under certain conditions the newcomers adapt better to the environment temperature than the aboriginals. The spatial dynamics of plant associations in the flowing water reservoirs will be studied by the example of the Tsimla water reservoir. This water reservoir represents a series of four areas (lake-shaped parts) such as the Upper, Chirskoe, Potemkinskoe, and Priplotin-noe areas connected by a former channel of the Don River [1,2].
