title: Long-term dynamics of phytoplankton and chlorophyll a concentration in the surface layer of the coastal waters of the Black Sea (Sevastopol region)
abstract: In the surface layer of the Sevastopol and Quarantine bays, during 2000–2014 in summer and in autumn, the average values of the concentration of chlorophyll a and phytoplankton biomass are reduced by a factor of 2–5. This is due to a decrease in the content of nitrates and silicon compounds in water, as well as the relative proportion of diatoms in the total biomass of phytoplankton. Regression analysis showed that in the summer period the long-term negative trend in the change in the relative b
