Abstract

To study effect of grain size on microalgae a new method is proposed: sand of different fractions is glued to the surface of microscope slides. Microalgae abundance was higher on fine sand grains (<0,25 mm). To forecast microalgae abundance the pattern is proposed depending on size of sand grains.
