title: Primary production of plankton and decomposition of organic matter in saline lakes of the crimea peninsula
abstract: The lakes under study can be classified as eutrophic-hypertrophic waterbodies according to the level of primary production. High concentrations of suspended matter (up to 7326 g/m3) and total phosphorus (up to 5625 mg/m3) were registered in the lakes. The values of the primary production of plankton and the destruction of organic matter do not depend on the absolute concentration of salts in water. Unlike the destruction of organic matter, the primary production of plankton is higher in winter t
