[On the regulation of the ecological community structure by a variation of the concentration ratios of resources in environment].
The possibility to regulate the structure of a community using a variational model of the ecological community was studied. The dependences of relative numbers of microorganisms on the initial ratios of resources of nutrients in environment were obtained. The potential possibility of controlling the community structure was shown. Model calculations and experimental data obtained on a community of Chlorococcales indicated that, as the ratios of resources vary, a change of the dominating species takes place.
