T1 Algae as Indicators of the Ecological State of Water Bodies: Methods and Prospects JF Hydrobiological Journal JO HYD YR 2015 FD 2015-12-09 VO 51 IS 6 SP 3 OP 21 K1 bioindication K1 monitoring K1 water quality K1 ecological assessment K1 aquatic ecosystem K1 algae AB The theory, practice, and methodology of bioindication and assessment of the ecological state of aquatic ecosystems were elaborated on the basis of long-term investigations of continental water bodies and watercourses of the countries of the Former Soviet Union and of the other countries of Europe, Asia, and Middle East. The ecological state of aquatic ecosystems was assessed in terms of abiotic and biotic components. Original indices and system of ecological mapping were put forward. The methods of the indication of the influence of climatic changes on the diversity of algae, and also integral tables essential to classify water quality from the ecological point of view, are presented.
