The current state and dynamics of the flora of several small lakes of the Yaroslavl Region, Russia

The phytoplankton and vascular aquatic plants have been studied in small lakes Vashutinskoe, Chashnitskoe, Ryumniki, and Zaozer’e, located in the southern part of the Yaroslavl Region, Russia. The taxonomic composition of phytoplankton comprised 137 species of algae belonging to 8 divisions, 18 orde...
