Spatiotemporal Changes in the Macrophytobenthos of Laspi Bay (Crimea, Black Sea)

Using a landscape approach, the paper presents for the first time the results of a comparative analysis of spatiotemporal changes in the macrophytobenthos, performed in the Laspi Bay for the period from 1983 to 2008 with landscape maps of Laspi Bay compiled by the authors. In addition, it describes...

Description
Summary:Using a landscape approach, the paper presents for the first time the results of a comparative analysis of spatiotemporal changes in the macrophytobenthos, performed in the Laspi Bay for the period from 1983 to 2008 with landscape maps of Laspi Bay compiled by the authors. In addition, it describes the distribution of the bottom natural complexes with key Black Sea phytocoenoses. It was found that over a span of 25 years, the plant components of bottom natural complexes in Laspi Bay underwent significant restructuring and degradation due to natural factors and anthropogenic activity in the coastal zone.
