Impact of climate changes on the functioning of aquatic ecosystems using the example of small reservoirs in southern Ukraine: a review.

Abstract

The paper examines the impact of climate transformations on the functioning of aquatic ecosystems of small reservoirs in southern Ukraine. The relevance of the study is due to the increase in temperature, decrease in precipitation and increase in evaporation, which leads to a disruption of the ecological balance of reservoirs. The aim is to determine the patterns of the impact of climate change on abiotic and biotic factors. The results showed the interdependence of temperature regime, transparency, oxygen balance and bioproductivity. The conclusions indicate that it is necessary to develop adaptation mechanisms to preserve the fishery potential of small reservoirs
