Small Lakes Ecosystems under the Impact of Non-Ferrous Metallurgy (Russia, Murmansk Region)
This paper presents integrated research on ecosystems of small lakes experiencing the direct impact of a copper-nickel ore processing plant, the “Kolskaya GMK” (MS KGMK), near the town of Monchegorsk Kola Peninsula, Russia. An integrated research method with the analysis of both abiotic and biotic c...
