The influence of cenomanian water on testate amoebae community

This article presents the results of a study on the effects of Cenomanian water on the numerical and species composition of testate amoebae community in a light gray forest soil. It was shown that soil invertebrates can be used as bioindicators of the pollution of the environment. We investigated the effect of water Cenomanian Aptian-Cenomanian water-bearing complex in the community of testate amoebae in the laboratory. Cenomanian water were made at concentrations of 50, 100 and 200 g/kg dry soil as control was considered the site without any concentration. Pollution produced artificially Cenomanian water (Sredneuralskie field) having the following characteristics: the amount of salinity of 19.3 g/l, total hardness is 29.1 mg - EQ/dm3., chlorine has an index (11347,3-12431,3 g - EQ/dm3), sodium (6650,2-7400,3 g - EQ/dm3) calcium ions - (44,0-53.7 g - EQ/dm3) magnesium ions - (0,9-12,7 g - EQ/dm3), hydrogen carbonate ions present in the amount of 1,8-5,4 g - EQ/dm3. Calculation and analysis of invertebrate organisms was performed using the microscope BIOMED-2 at magnification ×160...
