Part of the book series: The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry ((HEC5,volume 5Q))

Abstract

Based on abundant published data and results of original studies, we consider the present-day condition of the biodiversity and productivity of the Black Sea ecosystem. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the flora and fauna compositions are presented. The response of the biota to changes in environmental factors is shown. The particular features of the functioning of the Black Sea ecosystem and the effects of human activity are assessed.
