    Annotation —Climate change, which causes significant structural transformations of ecosystems, is becoming one of the most acute environmental problems of our time. Monitoring observations in protected areas, where anthropogenic impacts are minimal, reflect the effect of climate on natural communities. We have studied the change in the structure of summer phytoplankton in Lake Raifskoe (Volga-Kama Nature Reserve) for more than 20 years, as well as the relationship of these changes with environmental factors. This study has shown an increase in the proportion of dinophyte algae in the total biomass of summer phytoplankton in the lake, which is located in the forest zone. This change is more typical for the structure of lake communities in the forest-steppe zone. The leading role in the change in the structure of phytoplankton is plaid by climate, the air temperature of the warmest month (July) in particular. No effect of climate humidity (precipitation) on the phytoplankton community has been revealed. Our data show that current climate changes lead to rearrangements of phytoplankton communities, as a result of which the biomass structure of summer phytoplankton in the studied lake located in the forest zone of the Middle Volga region can acquire features of the structure of lake communities of the forest-steppe zone.
