| Abstract: | A simulation model of the phosphorus system is used to study the ecosystems functioning in the Dautkul'skoe Reservoir and Shegekul Lake (Mezhdurech'e). Dependence of the internal flows (turnover) and normal annual concentrations of P forms in the water body on its external load onto the ecosystem is established. The budgets of P and its production–destruction flows (1993–1999), calculated using the model, are presented and analyzed. Comparison estimates are made for the anthropogenic impact on the water bodies of the southern Aral Sea region. |
