EQUI-DOSIMETRY OF DELETERIOUS FACTORS AT THE LEVEL OF POPULATIONS AND COMMUNITIES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS
Keywords:
radiochemoecology, equi-dosimetry, nuclear and non-nuclear pollutions/factors, microcosm, Daphnia, aquatic populations and communities, environmental critical zones, major interphasic marine ecosystems, Black SeaAbstract
A principally new ecological tool is proposed for comparing equivalent effects of very different factors at the levels of populations and communities as the new approach - equi-dosimetry of effects by radiations (ionizing and ultra-violet), acidification and metals as well as any other deleterious impacts.
