Asymmetry of sediment drift to the Central Baikal Basin

Coastal zone of the world’s great lakes as a target field for interdisciplinary research and ecosystem monitoring: Lake Baikal (East Siberia)

“…Results of 2016-2018 investigations evidence, that the Spirogyra morphotype 1 in significant masses develop from end of August till September-October ical factor shall be considered as one of the most important factors of the ecological segregation, endemic speciation and evolution in ancient lakes of carst and rift origin. Coastal erosion and mudflows contribute up to 1550 000 m 3 of the non-hydrolized stony material in the coastal zone annually (Agafonov, 2002). Therefore, the rocky bottom of the coastal zone shall be considered as an unlimited source of the vital elements and nutrients for Baikal ecosystem.…”
