On the need to develop regional databases for the bioindicators of the state of water bodies
This review article discusses the problems associated with the implementation of bioindication methods for continental and marine water bodies at a regional scale, and ways to solve them. The possibilities of environmental assessment opening up with the expansion of the application of bioindication methods are described. Methods that enable a broader interpretation of the obtained bioindication data in environmental assessments, such as visualization, are considered. References to works describing updated methods of environmental mapping of data based on environmental indicators, biota, and bioindication results in the area of both lentic and lotic water bodies, including the water catchment area, are given. A table of the available data on the indicators of water properties by algae, cyanobacteria, bryophytes, fern-like and higher aquatic plants, which habitat is confined to continental water bodies, is presented. References to the sources that contain lists of algae indicator organisms for 12 environmental parameters are given, as well as examples of their application in bioindication at water bodies of various types. It is emphasized that it is important that indicators of the second and third trophic levels, especially aquatic invertebrates, which have regional distribution specific features, are included in the regional lists. Statistical software programs that offer the possibility to optimize working with lists of indicators and their quantitative data in communities are presented. It is concluded that there exists the need to create regional databases on indicator taxa of various trophic levels.
