Black sea salinization, freshvater ecosystemAbstract
The sea shore freshwater zones are one of the productive and meanwhile the most vulnerable ecosystems. In Georgia Black Sea shore zone, morphological parameters and hydrochemical composition of six small freshwater lakes are investigated, characteristics of sea water impact on ionic composition of lake waters is investigated.
