ALGAE OF LAKE TELETSKOYE ECOTONES
The research results (1991-2007) of microalgae communities from rocky substrate in the littoral of Lake Teletskoye found at the depth up to 1.5 m are presented. The peculiarities of the spatio-temporal organization of microalgae communities existing simultaneously on “rocky substrate - water”,“land - water” and “inflow - lake” (in complex ecoton) are considered. It is shown that microalgae communities in Lake Teletskoye ecotons are adapted to the intensity, instability of the abiotic factors. The similarity of the phytoepilton structure in the present period with retrospective data (1902, 1928-1931) is noted. The differences between ecotonal communities formed by macrophytes and microalgae are discussed.
