Simulation of Phytoplankton Community Transformations in the Ivankovo and Rybinsk Reservoirs: Graphical Analysis

Abstract

The paper describes a method of graphical analysis developed for freshwater ecosystems. The method was first used to analyze the structure of phytoplankton communities in the Ivankovo and Rybinsk reservoirs. Step-by-step spatial transformations of phytoplankton structure were revealed. Three scenarios of their transformation were highlighted.
