Experimental and mathematical models for small aqueous closed ecosystems with spatially separated components.

Experimental and theoretical models of closed "autotroph-heterotroph" (chlorella-yeast, chlorella-protozoa) ecosystems with spatially separated components have been created and studied. The chart of flows and interaction of components of gas-closed "chlorella-yeast" system have formed the basis describe mathematically the functioning of the given system, experimental results have been found to agree with computer solution of the problem in terms of quality. Investigation of the experimental model of the "producer-consumer" trophic chain demonstrated the role of protozoa in nitrogen turnover. "Production-decomposition" and "production-grazing-decomposition" cycle models has been theoretically analyzed and compared. The predator has been shown to be a more intensive mineralizer than the reducer component.
