Decomposition dynamics of the wrack of different origin in the black sea sandy littoral

SUMMARY

The role of sand interstitial community in process of decomposition of different origin wrack (seaweed, seagrass and mussel) are considered in with the results of laboratory experiments. Quantitative changes of organic matter content, bacteria, marine fungi, microalgae, flagellates, ciliates and insects in wrack and underlying sand are studied. The results obtained in the laboratory closed to the natural conditions
