The analysis of a database on comprehensive and specialized studies of the Rybinsk Reservoir for the period from its filling to 2022 is presented. Hydrological surveys of the reservoir in 10–15 years after its construction served the basis for a modern map of the soil complex of the ecosystem’s bottom layer. The map was created with the use of morphometric characteristics and GIS-technologies. The data on this unique reservoir, distinguished by its complex external and internal processes, will help unveil the specifics of synecological cooperativity in functioning the ecosystem under interaction of
abiotic/biotic factors in the conjugated environments.
