Journal: Ekosistemy
Year: 2025

During the ecological monitoring of freshwater bodies in the suburbs of Sevastopol from 2023 to 2024, including the pond at Toropova Dacha, the lake near Mount Gasforta, as well as the Inkerman and Kadykovsky quarries, data on the hydrochemical characteristics of these water bodies were collected. The study demonstrated a significant influence of the elemental and mineral composition of surface rocks on the diversity of freshwater microplankton. Elevated amounts of aluminum (up to 2.8 %), mangan
