Methodological approaches to phytomediation of productive processes in chalk quarry reservoirs of Belarus

As concerns field work, bathymetric measurements as well as measurements of physical and chemical parameters of water were conducted, and samples were collected for laboratory tests, which included quantitative and qualitative hydrobiological analyses concerning e.g. the abundance, biomass and speci...
