Abstract

The changes in the ratio of species representing different morpho-functional groups, identified by physiological, morphological and ecological parameters [29] were analyzed based on the study on phytoplankton in different reaches of the Rybinsk Reservoir in 2000–2005. Water quality was assessed by the Q index of communities, developed taking into account the proportions of these groups. This assessment was compared with the evaluation using the values of Pantle–Buck saprobity index and phytoplankton biomass.
