Abstract
AbstractPeriphyton was studied in the cooling pond of a nuclear power plant in the Ukraine. Fourteen periphytic communities called by the dominants were distinguished on the basis of an analysis of visually detected homogeneity distribution and with reference to results obtained from treatment of samples. Relationships among communities were determined by a method similar to taxonomic analysis according to E. S. SMIRNOV. The periphytic communities were shown to be integrated in two “large” communities gravitating towards the thermogradient poles. Temperature was the important factor that determined the macrostructure of periphyton in the cooling pond.
