Abstract

In a framework of the creation of a passport for the water section of the Carbon-Povolzhye polygon, we studied hydrochemical and hydrobiological status of the waters in the area of the Volga-Kama reach of the Kuibyshev reservoir in the water area of the Saralinsky section of the natural reserve. The seasonal dynamics of the main hydrochemical indicators of the study area revealed the stable status of the hydrochemical regime in 2018-2023. The water in those areas in different years and seasons was characterized by exceeding the maximum permissible concentration for ammonium and nitrite nitrogen, as well as for phosphorus and phosphates. Comparison of chemical and biological indicators of water using nonparametric statistics (the Mann-Whitney test for p <0.05) showed the significant difference in water color, ions of nitrogen group, phosphorus phosphates, as well as the number and biomass of phytoplankton, the number of rotifers in the Saralinsky area from similar ones at monitoring stations of open areas of the Kuibyshev water reservoir. An analysis of the statistical characteristics of phytoplankton in open areas of the water reservoir revealed the mesotrophic status of ecosystems as a whole, and processes of eutrophication that cause elements of ecological regression. Indicators of quantitative development of phytoplankton in those areas were determined by the hydrological features of the study areas. Statistical analysis of the phytoplankton data revealed the mesotrophic status of ecosystems as a whole, also along with the occurrence of eutrophication processes that caused elements of ecological regression. Indicators of quantitative development of phytoplankton were determined by the hydrological features of the study areas. The trophic status of the section of the Saralinsky area was assessed as mesotrophic with trend to further eutrophication depending on climatic characteristics. An assessment of the invariant status of the ecosystems based on the level of development in the zooplankton community showed the presence of anthropogenic stress in the ecosystem with elements of ecological regression, and according the development of zoobenthos - elements of ecological regression. The invariant status was assessed as anthropogenic stress by the level of development of oligochaetes.
