Bottom seaweeds is the main source of oxygen and carbon in coastal zone of the Crimea. The productivity of macrophytes mainly depends on a number of environmental factors, such as water temperature, solar irradiance and nutrients (nonorganic nitrogen and phosphorus). We carried out a series of simulations with extreme environmental changes to track the response of six algae that are widespread in the Black Sea on these changes. It was found that the main factor, which affect alga productivity, is light. Furthermore, macroalgae growth rate in the Crimean coastal zone is limited by phosphorus concentration in water. Increasing of nitrogen compounds content in water mainly affects the growth of green alga. Simultaneous long-time increasing of both nutrients in water leads to multiple increasing of seaweeds biomass. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
