The reactions of phytobenthos and phytoplankton communities of the Northwestern Black Sea to influence of factors of local, regional, and global levels in 2000–2011 years was estimated with the use of holistic approach and methods of morphofunctional ecology. The expert evaluation of power of influence of factors at each level was implemented on the basis of the estimation scale containing seven categories. The local level is characterized by the highest value of negative influence caused by intensive transformation of natural biotopes in a coastal zone. At the regional level there are credible processes of restoration of plant communities in response to the reduction of eutrophication. At the global level there is growth of climatic anomalies, which can substantially change speed of ecological processes and structural-functional organization of biotic component of Black Sea ecosystem.

Keywords: algae community, transformation biotopes, eutrophication, climatic change, Black Sea
