Influence of ecological factors on algal communities development of mountain tundra soils (Subpolar Urals)

Influence of some ecological factors (height, temperature, humidity, soil acidity, maintenance of several nutrients in the upper soil layers) affecting algal communities in the mountain tundra soils of Subpolar Urals was investigated. Such factors as altitude, pH and content of Mg2+, Са2+, К2 О in s...

Description
Summary:Influence of some ecological factors (height, temperature, humidity, soil acidity, maintenance of several nutrients in the upper soil layers) affecting algal communities in the mountain tundra soils of Subpolar Urals was investigated. Such factors as altitude, pH and content of Mg2+, Са2+, К2 О in soils were found to be the most important for algae development on the investigated territory. There was also observed a decrease of algal diversity from the belt of mountain rocky deserts to the mountain tundra.
