Popis: The peculiarities of colonization by periphyton of uneven glass relief in the gradient of the depression 7–270 μm and 2–10 mm have been studied. An increase in numbers, biomass, and diversity of several times of different organisms on an uneven glass surface in comparison with an even surface is revealed. Depressions differing in size serve as “cells” for colonization by mobile and attached forms with different specializations. Even the smallest irregularities of the glass relief hereinafter a more complex structure of periphyton communities.
