These features caused by the high amplitude of fluctuations in the structure of biological communities, and specific actions of adaptation to changes in the speed of ecological processes, which determines the tags of biological diversity, productivity, and sustainability of the ecosystem in general. The study was carried out in 5 stages. At the first stage, the waters of the Azov-Black Sea region were ranked according to their vulnerability to anthropogenic and climate changes. The most variable are the coastal waters of the Odessa region and the zone with a regular alternation of limnetic and marine conditions. The second stage identified the main qualitative and quantitative patterns of adaptive responses of species composition, productivity, physiological and biological tags of prevailed populations and communities of pelagic and benthic aquatic organisms and fishes in the Azov-Black Sea region under anthropogenic and climate changes. At the third stage, some syn-, dem- and autecological tags were identified, which can be used for forecasting and organising of aquatic ecosystems monitoring in the Azov-Black Sea region. The fourth stage identifies the main qualitative and quantitative patterns of adaptive responses of species composition, productivity, physiological and biological tags of prevailed populations and communities of pelagic and benthic aquatic organisms in the Azov-Black Sea region under anthropogenic and climate changes. In the fifth stage, the approaches to management strategy of water bodies and key biological communities, presented in the zone of maximal environmental risk, are proposed. In general, the study allowed to analyse and summarise the role of climatic and anthropogenic pressures on the structure of aquatic c Product Description popup.authors Vorobyova Lyudmyla Viktorivna Diatlov Sergii Evgtnovich Minicheva Halyna Н. popup.nrat_date 2022-05-07 Close
