Abstract

A system has been developed for diagnosing the biological production of lake ecosystems with input parameters: geographic latitude, specific watershed, normal annual air temperature, annual precipitation, mean and maximal depth of the water body, water residence time in it, and the values of water color index and daily assimilation number of phytoplankton chlorophyll a, averaged over vegetation season. Several lakes and reservoirs situated in different geographic zones of RF (from Northwest to the Far East) have been used to forecast the annual production of terrestrial vegetation in the drainage basin and the key groups of aquatic organisms: primary producers, bacterioplankton, and consumers, including fishes.
