ABSTRACT

The influence of the intra-daily regime of the operation of the Kiev Hydro-Electric Power Station on the structure of microphytobenthos of the Kiev section of the Kanev reservoir was investigated. At the maximum water level as a result of the operation of the station, the quantitative indices of development of microphytobenthos essentially decreased, whereas the composition of the complex of dominant species changed. At the same time, in the thickets of submerged higher aquatic plants at the maximum water level the numbers and biomass of microphytobenthos increased.
