Specific surface area and biomass of zoophytos in different waterbodies of the southern trans-Ural region

The specific surface area has been determined for the first time for four abundant species in waterbodies of the southern trans-Ural region. The leaf area index (LAI) and plant area index (PAI) have been determined; their values are 1.05–2.9 and 1.95–5 m 2 /m 2 , respectively. The relationships that...

Description
Summary:The specific surface area has been determined for the first time for four abundant species in waterbodies of the southern trans-Ural region. The leaf area index (LAI) and plant area index (PAI) have been determined; their values are 1.05–2.9 and 1.95–5 m 2 /m 2 , respectively. The relationships that PAI has with biomass and with the abundance of zoophytos organisms living on the studied plants have been determined. A highly statistically significant correlation ( P = 0.0002) has been determined between the total surface area index for macrophytes on the one hand and the abundance and biomass of zoophytos on the other.
