In January 2004 the microplankton community from the coastal waters of Terre Adélie and Georges V Land (139°E–145°E) was studied.
Results showed a diatom-dominated bloom with chlorophyll a levels averaging 0.64 μg l−1 at 5 m depth (range 0.21–1.57 μg l−1). Three geographic assemblages of diatoms were identified, based on principal diatom taxa abundances. The stratified waters
near the Mertz Glacier presented highest phytoplankton biomasses (0.28–1.57 μg Chl a l−1 at 5 m) and diatom abundances (6,507–70,274 cells l−1 at 5 m), but low diversity, dominated by Fragilariopsis spp. Lower biomasses (0.38–0.94 μg Chl a l−1 at 5 m) and abundances (394–9,058 cells l−1 at 5 m) were observed in the mixed waters around the Astrolabe Glacier with a diverse diatom community characterised by larger
species Corethron pennatum and Rhizosolenia spp. Finally an intermediate zone between them over the shallower shelf waters of the Adélie Bank represented by Chaetoceros criophilus, where biomasses (0.21–0.35 μg Chl a l−1 at 5 m) and abundances (1,190–5,431 cells l−1 at 5 m) were lowest, coinciding with the presence of abundant herbivorous zooplankton. 相似文献

The algal, protozoan and metazoan communities within different drift-ice types (newly formed, pancake and rafted ice) and
in under-ice water were studied in the Gulf of Bothnia in March 2006. In ice, diatoms together with unidentified flagellates
dominated the algal biomass (226 ± 154 μg ww l−1) and rotifers the metazoan and protozoan biomass (32 ± 25 μg ww l−1). The under-ice water communities were dominated by flagellates and ciliates, which resulted in lower biomasses (97 ± 25
and 21 ± 14 μg ww l−1, respectively). The under-ice water and newly formed ice separated from all other samples to their own cluster in hierarchical
cluster analysis. The most important discriminating factors, according to discriminant analysis, were chlorophyll-a, phosphate and silicate. The under-ice water/newly formed ice cluster was characterized by high nutrient and low chlorophyll-a values, while the opposite held true for the ice cluster. Increasing trends in chlorophyll-a concentration and biomass were observed with increasing ice thickness. Within the thick ice columns (>40 cm), the highest
chlorophyll-a concentrations (6.6–22.2 μg l−1) were in the bottom layers indicating photoacclimation of the sympagic community. The ice algal biomass showed additional
peaks in the centric diatom-dominated surface layers coinciding with the highest photosynthetic efficiencies [0.019–0.032 μg C (μg Chl-a
−1 h−1) (μE m−2 s−1)−1] and maximum photosynthetic capacities [0.43-1.29 μg C (μg Chl-a
−1 h−1)]. Rafting and snow-ice formation, determined from thin sections and stable oxygen isotopic composition, strongly influenced
the physical, chemical and biological properties of the ice. Snow-ice formation provided the surface layers with nutrients
and possibly habitable space, which seemed to have favored centric diatoms in our study. 相似文献

The specific inherent optical properties of three sub-tropical and tropical water reservoirs in Queensland, Australia 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The underwater light climate, which is a major influence on the ecology of aquatic systems, is affected by the absorption
and scattering processes that take place within the water column. Knowledge of the specific inherent optical properties (SIOPs)
of water quality parameters and their spatial variation is essential for the modelling of underwater light fields and remote
sensing applications. We measured the SIOPs and water quality parameter concentrations of three large inland water impoundments
in Queensland, Australia. The measurements ranged from 0.9 to 42.7 μg l−1 for chlorophyll a concentration, 0.9–170.4 mg l−1 for tripton concentration, 0.36–1.59 m−1 for a
CDOM(440) and 0.15–2.5 m for Secchi depth. The SIOP measurements showed that there is sufficient intra-impoundment variation in
the specific absorption and specific scattering of phytoplankton and tripton to require a well distributed network of measurement
stations to fully characterise the SIOPs of the optical water quality parameters. While significantly different SIOP sets
were measured for each of the study sites the measurements were consistent with published values in other inland waters. The
multiple measurement stations were allocated into optical domains as a necessary step to parameterise a semi-analytical inversion
remote sensing algorithm. This article also addresses the paucity of published global inland water SIOP sets by contributing
Australian SIOP sets to allow international and national comparison. 相似文献

The abundance and composition of phytoplankton were investigated at six stations along a transect from the Barguzin River
inflow to the central basin of Lake Baikal in August 2002 to clarify the effect of the river inflow on the phytoplankton community
in the lake. The water temperature in the epilimnion was high near the shore at Station 1 (17.3°C), probably due to the higher
temperature of the river water, and gradually decreased offshore at Station 6 (14.5°C). Thermal stratification developed at
Stations 2–6, and a thermocline was observed at a 17–22-m depth at Stations 2–4 and an 8–12-m depth at Stations 5 and 6. The
concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in the epilimnion at all stations were <1.0 μmol N l−1 and <0.16 μmol P l−1, respectively. Relatively high concentrations of nutrients (0.56–7.38 μmol N l−1 and 0.03–0.28 μmol P l−1) were detected in the deeper parts of the euphotic zone. Silicate was not exhausted at all stations (>20 μmol Si l−1). The chlorophyll a (chl. a) concentration was high (>10 μg l−1) near the shore at Station 1 and low (<3 μg l−1) at five other stations. The <2 μm fraction of chl. a in Stations 2–6 ranged between 0.80 and 1.85 μg l−1, and its contribution to total chl. a was high (>60%). In this fraction, picocyanobacteria were abundant at all stations and ranged between 5 × 104 and 5 × 105 cells ml−1. In contrast, chl. a in the >2 μm fraction varied significantly (0.14–11.17 μg l−1), and the highest value was observed at Station 1. In this fraction, the dominant phytoplankton was Aulacoseira and centric diatoms at Station 1 and Cryptomonas, Ankistrodesmus, Asterionella, and Nitzschia at Stations 2–6. The present study demonstrated the dominance of picophytoplankton in the pelagic zone, while higher abundance
of phytoplankton dominated by diatoms was observed in the shallower littoral zone. These larger phytoplankters in the littoral
zone probably depend on nutrients from the Barguzin River. 相似文献

A combination of numerical modeling results with measurement and satellite imagery data was used during the biologically active
period for the determination of the coastal zone extent in the central and eastern Gulf of Finland. Adopting the approach
that the coastal zone can be identified by the spatial distribution of biotic parameters, spatial variations and gradients
of chlorophyll a (chl-a) concentrations were analyzed. The results showed that chl-a concentrations vary in a wide range over the biologically active period. During heavy blooms, the coastal zone may appear
occasionally and depend on the spatial distribution of the bloom. On average, clear limits of the coastal zone could be defined
for the central and eastern Gulf of Finland. In the central Gulf of Finland, water and material exchange are rather intensive,
and the coastal zone is narrower than in the eastern Gulf. In the easternmost part of the Gulf of Finland, chl-a concentrations were permanently high in an area of about 100 km width due to the discharge of the Neva River. The study has
shown that gradients of chl-a spatial distribution can be applied for determining limits of the coastal zone extent. The standardized gradient of zero
is shown to be a threshold separating the coastal zone (standardized gradients > 0) from the open sea (standardized gradients < 0).

This article reports the first demonstration of the impact of climate change on benthic–pelagic coupling and the biogeochemical
cycles of a coastal marine system. Over the last 30 years Narragansett Bay, a 328-km2 temperate estuary on the east coast of the United States, has undergone a variety of ecological changes. Building on a robust
data set that spans three decades, we present a link between warming (+1.7°C in annual mean water temperature) in the bay
and a marked decrease in sediment oxygen consumption, in the fluxes of ammonium and phosphate from sediments to the overlying
water, and in sediment denitrification. We attribute this reduction in biogeochemical exchange to a dramatic drop in the standing
crop of water-column chlorophyll as the system has shifted from one characterized by a dominant winter–spring bloom to one
supported by more ephemeral and less intense summer–autumn blooms. The recent climate-induced oligotrophication of the bay
will be further exacerbated by forthcoming nitrogen reductions due to tertiary sewage treatment.

Numerous studies have demonstrated alternative regimes in shallow lake ecosystems around the world, with one state dominated
by submerged macrophytes and the other by phytoplankton. However, the stability of each regime, and thresholds at which lakes
shift to the alternative regime, are poorly known. We used a cross-sectional analysis of 72 shallow lakes located in prairie
and parkland areas of Minnesota, USA, during 2005 and 2006 to assess the occurrence of alternative regimes and shifts between
them. Cluster analysis revealed two distinct groups of lakes characterized not only by different macrophyte abundance and
chlorophyll a levels but also by different total phosphorus–chlorophyll a relationships. Thirty-nine lakes were macrophyte- and 23 lakes phytoplankton-dominated in both years, whereas 10 sites shifted
sharply between those regimes. We failed to detect a universal shifting threshold in terms of chlorophyll a or total phosphorus. However, 95% of the lakes with chlorophyll a concentrations less than 22 μg l−1 were in a clear-water regime, whereas 95% of the lakes with chlorophyll a higher than 31 μg l−1 were in a turbid regime. Total phosphorus less than 62 μg l−1 was an accurate predictor of lakes in a stable clear-water regime, whereas a large change in biomass of planktivores and
benthivores between years was the only variable weakly related to regime shifts. Our results support the theoretical prediction
that regime thresholds vary among lakes. We recommend that lake managers focus on improving resilience of clear regimes in
shallow lakes by reducing nutrient loading, rather than attempting to identify and manage complex triggers of regime shifts.

Chemical limnology of two artificial lakes used for both stormwater management and recreation 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The aims of this study were to document the mainly chemical behaviour of two linked artificial lakes used for both stormwater management and recreation in the new town of Craigavon. Further, the understanding of their behaviour should help in their management and the design of other similar lakes.The lake mean total phosphorus (73 µg P l–1), nitrate (0.50 mg N l–1) and chlorophyll a (25 µg l–1) concentrations, Secchi depth (1.2 m) and the estimated total phosphorus loading (1.98 g m–2 a–1) all classify the main lake as eutrophic. An important source of the phosphorus load on the lakes is the urban area of Craigavon (52% of the total load). The interrelationships between total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and Secchi depth in the main lake are similar to those in natural ones. In addition, the lake follows the total phosphorus load — trophic state relationships (lake total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations and Secchi depth) found to apply elsewhere. These two points indicate that the artificial lakes in Craigavon behave similarly to natural ones. 相似文献

Lake eutrophication is influenced by both anthropogenic and natural factors. Few studies have examined relationships between
eutrophication parameters and natural factors at a large spatial scale. This study explored these relationships using data
from 103 lakes across China. Eutrophication parameters including total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), TN:TP ratio,
chemical oxygen demand (CODMn), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), Secchi depth (SD), and trophic state index (TSI) were collected for the period 2001–2005. Sixteen natural factors included
three of geographic location, five of lake morphology, and eight of climate variables. Pearson correlation analysis showed
that TP and TSI were negatively related to elevation, lake depth, and lake volume, and positively related to longitude. All
eutrophication parameters, except for CODMn and Chl-a, showed no significant correlation with climate variables. Multiple regression analyses indicated that natural factors together
accounted for 13–58% of the variance in eutrophication parameters. When the 103 study lakes were classified into different
groups based on longitude and elevation, regression analyses demonstrated that natural factors explained more variance in
TN, TP, CODMn, Chl-a, and TSI in western lakes than in eastern lakes. Lake depth, volume, elevation, and mean annual precipitation were the main
predictors of eutrophication parameters for different lake groups. Although anthropogenic impacts such as point- and nonpoint-source
pollution are considered as the main determinants of lake eutrophication, our results suggest that some natural factors that
reflect lake buffer capacity to nutrient inputs can also play important roles in explaining the eutrophication status of Chinese
lakes. 相似文献

Oligotrophication as a result of planktivorous fish removal with rotenone in the small,eutrophic, Lake Mosvatn,Norway 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
In September 1987 the shallow, eutrophic, Lake Mosvatn was treated with rotenone to eliminate planktivorous fish (mainly whitefish,Coregonus lavaretus, L.), and the effects were studied. The first summer after treatment the zooplankton community changed markedly from rotifer
dominance and few grazers, to a community with few rotifers and many grazers. Accordingly there was a fivefold increase in
the biomass ofDaphnia galeata. Adult females ofD. galeata approximately doubled in weight. The decrease in rotifer biomass was probably mainly due to a loss of food by competition
with the daphnids. The phytoplankton community was also markedly affected. Prior to treatment Secchi depth was 1.7 m and Chl-a 23μg l−1 in the summer. After treatment there was an increase in the proportion of small and gelatinous algae and the mean chlorophyll
concentration fell to 7μg Chl-a l−1. Secchi depth increased to>2.3 m (bottom-sight most of the season). After the treatment there were also fewer cyanobacterial
blooms. This seems to be related to oligotrophication caused indirectly by increased grazing by the zooplankton. Total nutrient
concentrations were affected. Prior to treatment the mean summer concentration of total phosphate was 44μg P l−1. This decreased to 29μg P l−1 in the first summer and 23μg P l−1 the second summer after the treatment. Total nitrogen decreased from 0.68 mg N l−1 before treatment to 0.32 mg N l−1 the first summer after the treatment. The phosphate loading was not reduced, therefor it can be concluded that the fish removal
provided a biomanipulation which caused the more oligotrophic conditions. 相似文献

Filter fractionated picophytoplankton from Antarctic coastal waters (summer 2001) represented only 7–33% of total phytoplankton,
even though total stocks were low (average Chl a = 0.32 μg l−1, range = 0.13–1.03 μg l−1). Though all cells passed a 2 μm filter, electron microscopy revealed most cells were over 2 μm, principally Parmales, Phaeocystis sp., and small diatoms. CHEMTAX analysis of HPLC pigment data suggested type 8 haptophytes (e.g. Phaeocystis sp. plus Parmales and pelagophytes) contributed 7–58% of picoplanktonic chlorophyll a, type 6 haptophytes (e.g. coccolithophorids) 18–59%, diatoms 0–18% (mostly type 2 diatoms, e.g. Pseudonitzschia sp., 0–15%), prasinophytes 0–17%, with cell fragments of cryptophytes 0–40%, and dinoflagellates 0–11%. Only stocks of type
8 haptophytes and prasinophytes differed significantly due to successional changes. Zeaxanthin concentrations exceeded estimates
from previous cyanobacterial counts and may derive from non-photosynthetic bacteria. 相似文献

Phyto/zooplankton composition, chlorophyll a, and some water quality parameters were investigated in a spring-originated pond in Central Anatolia between February 2001
and January 2002. Water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, Secchi depth, total and calcium hardness, nitrate-nitrogen, nitrite-nitrogen,
ammonia-nitrogen, total phosphorus, and soluble reactive phosphorus levels were analyzed. A total of 49 species belonging
to Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Cryptophyceae, and Dinophyceae were identified. The highest phytoplankton
abundance was found in August, whereas the lowest was determined in January. Phytoplankton abundance increased from February
to August and declined in the following months. The Bacillariophyceae were dominant in the phytoplankton community. A total
of 21 species of Rotifera, 2 species of Cladocera, and 1 genus of Copepoda were found. The zooplankton community was dominated
by Rotifera. The highest abundance of zooplankton was recorded in July and the lowest value in November. The annual mean concentration
of chlorophyll a was measured as 1.90 μg l−1. In spite of these eutrophic levels (mean values of total phosphorus and nitrate-nitrogen: 0.069 mg P l−1 and 0.68 mg N l−1), phytoplankton cannot grow satisfactorily because of the short water retention time (0.6 day−1). The shallowness of the pond together with the low phytoplankton biomass and the high concentrations of nutrients are discussed. 相似文献

Seasonal changes in the microphytoplankton assemblages were examined in the coastal zone of Bozcaada Island with regard to
some major physical and chemical variables. Samples were collected from May 2000 to December 2001 at four stations. A total
of 108 dinoflagellates, 102 diatoms, 1 chrysophycean, 3 dictyochophycean, and 1 prasinophycean species were identified and
quantified during the study period. Diatoms and dinoflagellates were the most important in terms of species number and abundance.
The maximum values of total microphytoplankton were observed at 0.5 m depth (46.2 × 103 cells l−1 at st. 3) in May as this was the month when the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia pungens bloomed. Chlorophyll (chl) a concentration ranged between 0.08 (August) and 0.78 μg l−1 (February). May was another important month in which chlorophyll a increased (0.41–0.47 μg l−1). Species diversity values (H′log2) ranged from 1.66 bits (June, 20 m) to 4.11 bits (November, 0.5 m). The increase was attributed to a more balanced distribution
of abundance among species. The amounts of nitrate + nitrite (0.6−3.7 μg-at N l−1), phosphate (0.2−0.6 μg-at P l−1) and silicate (0.7−2.5 μg-at Si l−1) were recorded on each sampling occasion. Nutrient concentrations and chl a values of the research area were found to be poorer than those of the many other coastal areas in the northeastern Mediterranean.
The mean atomic ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus varied from 1.3 (June) to 12.9 (February). This ratio was lower than the Redfield
ratio of 16 for ocean phytoplankton, and phytoplankton was potentially limited by nitrogen for most of the months. The result
of this study confirms and emphasizes the oligotrophic nature of the eastern Mediterranean. 相似文献

Valle de Bravo (VB) is a tropical reservoir located (19°21′30″ N, 100°11′00″ W) in the highlands of Mexico. The reservoir
is daily swept by strong (7.4 m s−1 mean speed) diurnal (12:00–19:00 h) winds that blow along its two main arms. As expected from its fetch (6.9 km) and its
depth (21.1 m mean), the reservoir behaves as a warm monomictic water body. During 2001, VB was stratified from February to
October, and well mixed from November to January. Its mean temperature was 19.9°C; the maximum found was 23.8°C in the epilimnion,
while a minimum of 17.8°C was registered during mixing. VB exhibited a thermal regime similar to other water bodies of the
Mexican tropical highlands, except for a steady increase of its hypolimnetic temperature during stratification, which is attributed
to entrainment of epilimnetic water into the hypolimnion. During stratification, the hypolimnion was anoxic, while the whole
water column remained under-saturated (60%) during mixing. The flushing time is 2.2 years. Mineralization and total alkalinity
are low, which allows strong changes in pH. Ammonia remained low (2.4 μmol l−1 mean) in the epilimnion, but reached up to 60 μmol l−1 in the hypolimnion. Soluble reactive phosphorous had a mean of 0.28 μmol l−1 in the epilimnion and a mean of 1.25 μmol l−1 in the hypolimnion. Nitrate exhibited maxima (up to 21 μmol l−1) during mixing, and also in the metalimnion (2 μmol l−1) during stratification. Low dissolved inorganic nitrogen indicated nitrogen limitation during stratification. Eutrophication
is an emerging problem in VB, where cyanobacteria dominate during stratification. At VB chlorophyll a is low during mixing (mean of 9 μg l−1), and high during stratification (mean 21 μg l−1), when blooms (up to 88 μg l−1) are frequent. This pattern is similar to that found in other eutrophic tropical water bodies. We propose that in VB the
wind regime causes vertical displacements of the thermocline (0.58–1.10 m hr−1) and boundary mixing, enhancing the productivity during the stratification period in this tropical reservoir. 相似文献

Based on the currently largest available dataset of phytoplankton in lakes in northern Europe, we quantified the responses
of three major phytoplankton classes to eutrophication. Responses were quantified by modelling the proportional biovolumes
of a given group along the eutrophication gradient, using generalized additive models. Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) was chosen as a proxy for eutrophication because all classes showed more consistent responses to Chl-a than to total phosphorus. Chrysophytes often dominate in (ultra-) oligotrophic lakes, and showed a clear decrease along the
eutrophication gradient. Pennate diatoms were found to be most abundant at moderate eutrophication level (spring-samples).
Cyanobacteria often dominate under eutrophic conditions, especially in clearwater lakes at Chl-a levels >10 μg l−1 (late summer samples). We compare the relationships among types of lakes, based on the lake typology of the northern geographic
intercalibration group, and among countries sharing common lake types. Significant differences were found especially between
humic and clearwater lakes, and between low- and moderately alkaline lakes, but we could not identify significant differences
between shallow and deep lakes. Country-specific differences in response curves were especially pronounced between lakes in
Norway and Finland, while Swedish lakes showed an intermediate pattern, indicating that country-specific differences reflect
large-scale geographic and climatic differences in the study area. 相似文献

We investigated the photosynthesis–light intensity (P–I) relationships of phytoplankton collected from a sublittoral sand
bank in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, under different temperature conditions. In spite of low chlorophyll a concentration (<3 mg m−3), phytoplankton had considerably high photosynthetic potential (>10 mg C (mg chl a)−1 h−1) in the study area. Based on the P–I relationships, we conducted numerical simulation of areal primary production using published
data on water temperature, chlorophyll a concentration, and irradiance. The areal primary production ranged between 159 and 187 g C m−2 year−1. This production was within the range of typical values reported previously in deeper areas of the Seto Inland Sea. The productivity
in the sand bank area was discussed in relation to water current, allochthonous resource input, and fisheries. 相似文献

Shallow lakes often alternate between two possible states: one clear with submerged macrophytes, and another one turbid, dominated
by phytoplankton. A third type of shallow lakes, the inorganic turbid, result from high contents of suspended inorganic material,
and is characterized by low phytoplankton biomass and macrophytes absence. In our survey, the structure and photosynthetic
properties (based on 14C method) of phytoplankton were related to environmental conditions in these three types of lakes in the Pampa Plain. The
underwater light climate was characterized. Clear-vegetated lakes were more transparent (K
d 4.5–7.7 m−1), had high DOC concentrations (>45 mg l−1), low phytoplankton Chl a (1.6–2.7 μg l−1) dominated by nanoflagellates. Phytoplankton productivity and photosynthetic efficiency (α ~ 0.03 mgC mgChla
−1 h−1 W−1 m2) were relatively low. Inorganic-turbid lakes showed highest K
d values (59.8–61.4 m−1), lowest phytoplankton densities (dominated by Bacillariophyta), and Chl a ranged from 14.6 to 18.3 μg l−1. Phytoplankton-turbid lakes showed, in general, high K
d (4.9–58.5 m−1) due to their high phytoplankton abundances. These lakes exhibited the highest Chl a values (14.2–125.7 μg l−1), and the highest productivities and efficiencies (maximum 0.56 mgC mgChla
−1 h−1 W−1 m2). Autotrophic picoplankton abundance, dominated by ficocianine-rich picocyanobacteria, differed among the shallow lakes independently
of their type (0.086 × 105–41.7 × 105 cells ml−1). This article provides a complete characterization of phytoplankton structure (all size fractions), and primary production
of the three types of lakes from the Pampa Plain, one of the richest areas in shallow lakes from South America.

Denitrification efficiency for defining critical loads of carbon in shallow coastal ecosystems 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Denitrification efficiency [DE; (N2 − N/(DIN + N2 − N) × 100%)] as an indicator of change associated with nutrient over-enrichment was evaluated for 22 shallow coastal ecosystems
in Australia. The rate of carbon decomposition (which can be considered a proxy for carbon loading) is an important control
on the efficiency with which coastal sediments in depositional mud basins with low water column nitrate concentrations recycle
nitrogen as N2. The relationship between DE and carbon loading is due to changes in carbon and nitrate (NO3) supply associated with sediment biocomplexity. At the DE optimum (500–1,000 μmol m−2 h−1), there is an overlap of aerobic and anaerobic respiration zones (caused primarily by the existence of anaerobic micro-niches
within the oxic zone, and oxidized burrow structures penetrating into the anaerobic zone), which enhances denitrification
by improving both the organic carbon and nitrate supply to denitrifiers. On either side of the DE optimum zone, there is a
reduction in denitrification sites as the sediment loses its three-dimensional complexity. At low organic carbon loadings,
a thick oxic zone with low macrofauna biomass exists, resulting in limited anoxic sites for denitrification, and at high carbon
loadings, there is a thick anoxic zone and a resultant lack of oxygen for nitrification and associated NO3 production. We propose a trophic scheme for defining critical (sustainable) carbon loading rates and possible thresholds
for shallow coastal ecosystems based on the relationship between denitrification efficiency and carbon loading for 17 of the
22 Australian coastal ecosystems. The denitrification efficiency “optimum” occurs between carbon loadings of about 50 and
100 g C m−2 year−1. Coastal managers can use this simple trophic scheme to classify the current state of their shallow coastal ecosystems and
for determining what carbon loading rate is necessary to achieve any future state.

Landfast ice algal communities were studied in the strongly riverine-influenced northernmost part of the Baltic Sea, the Bothnian
Bay, during the winter-spring transition of 2004. The under-ice river plume, detected by its low salinity and elevated nutrient
concentrations, was observed only at the station closest to the river mouth. The bottommost ice layer at this station was
formed from the plume water (brine volume 0.71%). This was reflected by the low flagellate-dominated (93%) algal biomass in
the bottom layer, which was one-fifth of the diatom-dominated (74%) surface-layer biomass of 88 μg C l−1. Our results indicate that habitable space plays a controlling role for ice algae in the Bothnian Bay fast ice. Similarly
to the water column in the Bothnian Bay, average dissolved inorganic N:P-ratios in the ice were high, varying between 12 and
265. The integrated chlorophyll a (0.1–2.2 mg m−2) and algal biomass in the ice (1–31 mg C m−2) correlated significantly (Spearman ρ = 0.79), with the highest values being measured close to the river mouth in March and during the melt season in April. Flagellates
<20 μm generally dominated in both the ice and water columns in February–March. In April the main ice-algal biomass was composed
of Melosira arctica and unidentified pennate diatoms, while in the water column Achnanthes taeniata, Scrippsiella hangoei and flagellates dominated. The photosynthetic efficiency (0.003–0.013 (μg C [μg chl a
−1] h−1)(μE m−2s−1)−1) and maximum capacity (0.18–1.11 μg C [μg chl a
−1] h−1) could not always be linked to the algal composition, but in the case of a clear diatom dominance, pennate species showed
to be more dark-adapted than centric diatoms. 相似文献

The effect of non-algal turbidity on the relationship of Secchi depth to chlorophyll a 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

Data from four reservoirs representative of different trophic states and with different apparent optical properties were analyzed to determine the relationship of Secchi depth to algal biomass as measured by chlorophyll a. In the eutrophic reservoir Secchi depth was determined partially by the chlorophyll a content (r2 = 0.31) but only when chlorophyll a data from bloom conditions are included. In the two mesotrophic reservoirs, Secchi depth was entirely determined by non-algal turbidity. In the oligotrophic reservoir, Secchi depth was determined neither by chlorophyll a nor non-algal turbidity and was probably determined by dissolved color. When data from the four reservoirs were pooled (N = 205), 53% of the variation in Secchi depth was explained by: SD = 2.55–0.52 ln (Turbidity) + 0.005 (Chlorophyll a). It is apparent that attempts to estimate algal biomass for trophic state classification or other management practices from Secchi depth data are inappropriate even where moderate amounts of non-algal turbidity are present. 相似文献
