Abstract

Structural and functional characteristics of zoobenthos in two lakes with different trophic status and the level of human impact were investigated in spring, summer and autumn 2013 and 2014. Species composition, degree of dominance, trophic structure, production and a role in the decomposition of organic matter were studied in zoobenthos of the two lakes. Seasonal dynamics of the quantitative characteristics of zoobenthos in lakes with varying anthropogenic impact showed an asynchronous response of the communities on dynamics of natural factors
