[Long-term production dynamics of aquatic vegetation in the Arakhlei Lake (Eastern Transbaikalia)].

ABSTRACT

Long-term data on aquatic vegetation production in the mesotrophic Arakhlei Lake was comparatively analyzed. The results demonstrated that the production dynamics of aquatic vegetation communities depend on the water-level conditions of the lake. The data on the succession of dominant vegetation communities are given Chara sp. and Ceratophyllum demersum --> C. demersum and Lemna trisulca. At the same time, the increased proportion of C. demersum and L. trisulca pointed to an increased anthropogenic stress on the lake.
