Hierarchical division of the crown space and distribution of bioorganic matter in it in the multicellular algae Callithamnion corymbosum (J. E. Smith) Lyngbye, 1819, in it

An original technique for determining the geometric volume of the crown space of multicellular algae is proposed. It focuses on the hierarchical structure of the Callithamnion corymbosum crown space and distribution of bioorganic matter in it. The amount of habitable space (Vn+1, cm3) and living matter concentration (CW, mg (dry weight)/cm3), on the one hand, and concentration of the photosynthetic surface (CS, см-1), on the other, are shown to be interrelated at all hierarchical levels and described by the equation: lоgСw = lоg a - b lоgVn+1; lоgСs = lоg a - b lоgVn+1.
