The seasonal dynamics of the concentration of nutrients in the form of inorganic nitrogen (NH4+, NO2, NO3-, ΣN), dissolved phosphorus, organic matter and the connection with the development of phytoplankton in waters with high content of total inorganic nitrogen (from 23.31 to 102.65 mg N/dm3) and its compounds (ammonia - from 8.42 to 76.60, nitrate - from 4.94 to 15.93, nitrite - from 0.077 to 4.35 mg N/dm3) and organic matter (from 8.00 to 21.92 mg O/dm3 by permanganate oxidation values and from 58.46 to 265.2 mg O/dm3 by dichromate oxidation values) were analyzed in paper. The peculiarity of the hydrochemical regime of the reservoirs was phenomenally high relations ΣN:P (133,54-12152,86) during the growing seasons. Found that response algal plankton communities such features hydrochemical regime is a simplification of the structure due to the predominance of representatives of departments Euglenophyta, Chlorophyta and Bacillariophyta, while Chrysophyta, Dinophyta, Charophyta and presented Cryptophyta 1-3 species. The response of phytoplankton to the high content of compounds of inorganic nitrogen is the increase in the number and biomass of green algae, and organic matter - eugenic algae.THE REGULARITIES OF PHYTOPLANKTON FORMATION AT VARIOS BIOGENIC ELEMENTS AND ORGANIC MATTER CONCENTRATIONS

Abstract. Controls on nitrate leaching from upland moorland catchments are not yet fully understood and yet, despite agreements on emission reductions, increased surface water nitrate concentrations may affect significantly the acidity status of these waters in the future. At Lochnagar, an upland moorland catchment in N.E. Scotland, 12 years of surface water chemistry observations have identified a steady increase in nitrate concentration despite no measured change in inorganic nitrogen deposition. The MAGIC model has been applied to simulate a "best case" situation assuming nitrate in surface water represents "hydrological" contributions (direct run-off) and a ‘worst case’ assuming a nitrogen saturation mechanism in the catchment soil. Only the ‘saturation’ model is capable of matching the 12 years of observation for nitrate but both model structures match the pH and acid neutralising capacity record. Future predictions to 2040, in response to the agreed emission reductions under the Gothenburg Protocol, are markedly different. The worst case predicts continued surface water acidification whilst the best case predicts a steady recovery. Keywords: nitrogen saturation, modelling, Lochnagar, Gothenburg Protocol
