Vertical distribution of organic constituents in an Antarctic lake: Lake Vanda

Vertical distribution of organic constituents, i.e. total organic carbon (TOC), extractable organic carbon with ethyl acetate (EOC), hydrocarbons, phytol, sterols, fatty acids and phenolic acids in Lake Vanda was studied to elucidate their features in relation to the stratification of lake water and the distribution of lake organisms. The concentrations of TOC, EOC and sterols increased with depth and attained the maximum values of 25 and 1.5 mgC l^–1 and 1.4 g l^–1 in the bottom, respectively, while those of fatty acids showed the maximum value of 61 g l^–1 at a depth of 55.4 m, along with the highest value of the ratio of unsaturated (UC₁₆, uC₁₈) to saturated (C₁₆, C₁₈) acids (8.5) and with the highest carbon preference index (35). Hydrocarbons were only found in the bottom layers (60.4 and 65.9 m) and bottom sediment. These results suggest strongly that the vertical distribution of lake organisms and their activity are quite different due to depth. In the bottom warm anoxic layers the degradation of organic materials must have occurred significantly and thus refractory organic materials should be concentrated.     

Vertical distribution in and isolation of bacteria from Lake Vanda: an Antarctic lake

Vertical distribution of bacteria in Lake Vanda, an Antarctic meromictic lake, was examined by the acridine orange epifluorescence direct count method. Total bacteria were 10⁴–10⁵ cells · ml^–1 in the water at 55 m depth and above, and increased drastically to 10⁷ cells · ml^–1 in the bottom water. Filamentous or long rodshaped bacteria occurred at a high frequency in the upper layers, but in the bottom layers most bacteria were coccoidal or short rods. Mean bacterial cell volume in water of between 10 m and 60 m deep was fairly large compared with common bacterial populations in seawater and lake water. Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria were recovered from the water of a depth of 30 m and above, and were assumed to belong to Caulobacter. Viable heterotrophic bacteria were not recovered from the high salinity deep water by media prepared with the same deep water. Phototrophic purple non-sulphur bacteria were isolated by enrichment cultures from water at 55 m depth.     

Biogeochemical study of organic substances in Antarctic lakes

The features of organic constituents in Antarctic lakes and ponds of the McMurdo, Syowa and Vestfold oases are summarised from a biogeochemical viewpoint. Total organic carbon or dissolved organic carbon contents in saline lakewaters are generally extremely high and much higher than those in freshwater lakes. The concentrations and/or compositions of hydrocarbons, fatty acids, sterols, phenolic acids and hydroxy acids in lake and pond waters and sediments vary markedly, probably reflecting differences in biological activity and source organisms. Long-chain alkenes, such as n-C_29:2 (carbon chain length: numbers of unsaturated bonds) are found as the major hydrocarbons in some anoxic lake sediments. Unusually, long-chain n-alkanoic acids are abundant in some Antarctic lake sediments and 24-ethylcholest-5-en-3-ol is the most prominent sterol in most of the lakes studied. It is suggested that some bacteria, and cyanobacteria and algae are important sources of long-chain n-alkanoic acids and 24-ethylcholest-5-en-3-ol, respectively, as previously reported from environments of the mid and lower latitudes. The dominance of p-hydroxybenzoic acid among the phenolic acids found together with the absence of syringic, p-coumaric and ferulic acids in the Antarctic lakes reflects the absence of vascular plants in the areas studied.In three Antarctic saline lakes (Vanda, Fryxell and Ace) the kinds and amounts of organic constituents differ with depth due to the zonation of microorganisms. The maximum fatty acid contents are found at depths just above the anoxic layer, corresponding to the photosynthetic maxima in the lakes, and the depths of maximum phytoplankton populations. In the bottom sediments of the lakes, the composition of organic substances is significantly different from that in the water columns, indicating that the sinking organic substances are degraded rapidly by microorganisms on the lake bottom.     

Vertical distribution of planktonic rotifers in a karstic meromictic lake

Vertical distribution of planktonic rotifers is described in relation to temperature and oxygen in Lake La Cruz, a single-doline, closed karstic lake (121 m diameter and 25 m maximum depth) which shows iron meromixis. Samples were taken by peristaltic pumping at 10 cm depth intervals in the oxycline zone from June 1987 to September 1988. A model of rotifer vertical structure in stratified lakes is proposed. Rotifers concentrate their populations at the depths with intense gradients. As stratification develops some rotifer populations show a downward migration following the thermocline and some others show an upward migration following the oxycline. The production-respiration balance in the lake, and so the position of the oxycline with respect to the thermocline and the layer of maximum production, depends on meteorological conditions. A shift in the dominance of congeneric or related species can occur in consecutive years. In Lake La Cruz, mixing conditions and subterranean inflow in spring were much more intense in 1988 than 1987, and the distance between production and decomposition depths was smaller in 1988. Anuraeopsis miraclei, an oxycline-bound species with high abundance in 1987, was displaced by A. fissa in 1988. A. fissa, which was a metalimnetic species during early summer, reached peak densities (3 × 10⁴ ind l^–1) at the oxycline, equaling the abundance of A. miraclei the preceeding year.     

Geochemistry of aquatic humic substances in the Lake Fryxell Basin, Antarctica

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in Lake Fryxell, 10 streams flowing into the lake, and the moat surrounding the lake was studied to determine the influence of sources and biogeochemical processes on its distribution and chemical nature. Lake Fryxell is an amictic, permanently ice-covered lake in the McMurdo Dry Valleys which contains benthic and planktonic microbial populations, but receives essentially no input of organic material from the ahumic soils of the watershed. Biological activity in the water column does not appear to influence the DOC depth profile, which is similar to the profiles for conservative inorganic constituents. DOC values for the streams varied with biomass in the stream channel, and ranged from 0.2 to 9.7 mg C/L. Fulvic acids in the streams were a lower percentage of the total DOC than in the lake. These samples contain recent carbon and appear to be simpler mixtures of compounds than the lake samples, indicating that they have undergone less humification. The fulvic acids from just above the sediments of the lake have a high sulfur content and are highly aliphatic. The main transformations occurring as these fractions diffuse upward in the water column are 1) loss of sulfur groups through the oxycline and 2) decrease in aliphatic carbon and increase in the heterogeneity of aliphatic moieties. The fraction of modem¹⁴C content of the lake fulvic acids range from a minimum of 0.68 (approximately 3000 years old) at 15m depth to 0.997 (recent material) just under the ice. The major processes controlling the DOC in the lake appear to be: 1) The transport of organic matter by the inflow streams resulting in the addition of recent organic material to the moat and upper waters of the lake; 2) The diffusion of organic matter composed of relict organic material and organic carbon resulting from the degradation of algae and bacteria from the bottom waters or sediments of the lake into overlying glacial melt water, 3) The addition of recent organic matter to the bottom waters of the lake from the moat.     

云南程海湖泊系统响应富营养化与水文调控的长期模式

流域开发和气候变化背景下,逐渐增强的人类活动已经显著影响湖泊系统演替及功能。本研究以云南程海为研究对象,通过对程海湖泊沉积物记录与现代调查数据相结合,重建了程海近250年来的生态环境变化过程,探讨了程海湖泊系统在富营养化以及水文波动等多重环境压力影响下的长期响应模式。结果表明: 1970年之前程海营养水平整体偏低,1970—2000年间缓慢增长,2000年后快速增加,初级生产力呈长期上升趋势。1993—2000年期间,引水工程显著增加了湖泊水动力强度和物种扩散能力,促进了直链藻和菱形藻的增加。程海沉积物记录的碳循环变化主要受内源输入的长期影响。富营养化是硅藻群落长期演替的主要驱动因子,其次是湖泊水动力条件的波动。对程海的生态修复与流域管理不仅需要关注水体营养盐的富集与流域污染物的控制,同时还要考虑到湖泊水文调控和水位波动的影响。     

北京市平原区土壤有机碳垂直分布特征

Vertical distribution of phytoplankton in Lake Xolotlán (Managua)

A study of the vertical distribution of phytoplankton was carried out at the end of the rainy season (October–November), when wind activity is lower and the probability for phytoplankton stratification is enhanced. Samples were taken every other day at 0, 0.5, 1.0 m and, thereafter, for every meter up to the bottom. The number of individuals and their biomass were determined for each sampling depth and expressed as wet weight and chlorophyll-a, respectively. The results indicate that there were no significant differences (ANOVA one way, P<0.05) with regard to the vertical distribution of phytoplankton biomass over the 15 m of the water column. This result reflects the polymictic condition of Lake Xolotlán (Managua).     

The geochemistry of methane in Lake Fryxell,an amictic,permanently ice-covered,antarctic lake

The abundance and distribution of dissolved CH₄ were determined from 1987–1990 in Lake Fryxell, Antarctica, an amictic, permanently ice-covered lake in which solute movement is controlled by diffusion. CH₄ concentrations were < 1 υM in the upper oxic waters, but increased below the oxycline to 936 μM at 18 m. Sediment CH₄ was 1100 μmol (1 sed)⁻¹ in the 0–5 cm zone. Upward flux from the sediment was the source of the CH₄, NH₄ ⁺, and DOC in the water column; CH₄ was 27% of the DOC+CH₄ carbon at 18 m. Incubations with surficial sediments indicated that H¹⁴CO₃ ⁻ reduction was 0.4 μmol (1 sed)⁻¹ day⁻¹ or 4× the rate of acetate fermentation to CH₄. There was no measurable CH₄ production in the water column. However, depth profiles of CH₄, NH₄, and DIC normalized to bottom water concentrations demonstrated that a significant CH₄ sink was evident in the anoxic, sulfate-containing zone of the water column (10–18 m). The δ¹³CH₄ in this zone decreased from −72 % at 18 m to −76% at 12 m, indicating that the consumption mechanism did not result in an isotopic enrichment of ¹³CH₄. In contrast, δ¹³CH₄ increased to −55 % at 9 m due to aerobic oxidation, though this was a minor aspect of the CH₄ cycle. The water column CH₄ profile was modeled by coupling diffusive flux with a first order consumption term; the best-fit rate constant for anaerobic CH₄ consumption was 0.012 yr⁻¹. On a total carbon basis, CH₄ consumption in the anoxic water column exerted a major effect on the flux of carbonaceous material from the underlying sediments and serves to exemplify the importance of CH₄ to carbon cycling in Lake Fryxell.     

Vertical variations in kinetics of alkaline phosphatase and P species in sediments of a shallow Chinese eutrophic lake (Lake Donghu)

The vertical distribution of the variables relevant to P forms in sediments were studied in a shallow Chinese freshwater lake (Lake Donghu) in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000, to assess the contribution of enzyme to P availability in sediment cores. Sediment P was fractionationd into iron-bound P, calcium-bound P, acid soluble organic P (ASOP) and hot NaOH extractable residual organic P. The former two species made the largest contribution to the sediment P pool. All P species exhibited significantly higher concentrations in different depths at Station I, compared with those found at Station II, except for ASOP. Coupled with these lower ASOP concentrations, the V _max data of alkaline phosphatase, measured on the same samples, were significantly higher at station I. Taken together, ASOP were probably important in supplying the enzymatic substrate (Phosphatase Hydrolyzable Phosphorus, PHP) into interstitial water. Dissolved orthophosphate and PHP concentrations were highly heterogeneous , but peaked in subsurface, paralleled by higher V _max and lower K _m values of alkaline phosphatase, throughout the sediment core. Sediment in the eutrophic lake is not only enriched in available P (iron-bound P), or stores residual P, but also tends to release PHP, thereby inducing the production of alkaline phosphatase and releasing o-P into water column by enzymatic hydrolysis. The latter process may also occur in relatively deep sediment layers.     

Organochlorine Pesticides in Sediments around Chaohu Lake: Concentration Levels and Vertical Distribution

Eighteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were investigated in surface sediments from the Nanfei River and in four sediment cores from the primary estuaries of Chaohu Lake, Eastern China. The results indicate that the OCP concentrations in the surface and core sediments around Chaohu Lake were 3.48–121.08 (with a mean of 34.93) ng/g and 0.60–39.28 (7.07) ng/g, respectively. Significantly higher concentrations of ΣOCPs were observed in sediment samples from the Nanfei River and its estuary. The three important OCP contributors around Chaohu Lake were dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its metabolites (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB), which originated primarily from the historical use of technical DDTs and HCHs. A principal component analysis (PCA) suggests that HCB and lindane may originate from the same sources, and DDTs were greatly influenced by organic carbon from the soil environment and the impact of urbanization processes.     

Carbon dynamics in an ultra-oligotrophic epishelf lake (Beaver Lake, Antarctica) in summer

1. Microbial plankton dynamics in an ultra‐oligotrophic epishelf lake (Beaver Lake, Antarctica) were investigated over an austral summer (December 2002 to January 2003). The aim was to characterise carbon cycling in an environmentally extreme lake. 2. The lake had an unusual temperature profile with peak temperatures of 1.3–1.9 °C between 20 and 25 m. Photosynthetically active radiation penetrated to the lake bottom (110 m) on occasions. The ice cover underwent marked thinning and melting during the study period. 3. Chlorophyll a concentrations were consistently low, usually below 1 μg L^?1, with highest concentrations close to the lake bottom, where the photosynthetic elements showed strong autofluorescence. Mean photosynthetic nanoflagellates ranged between 34.9 × 10⁴ L^?1 ± 33.5 (23rd December) and 130.9 × 10⁴ L^?1 ± 112.3 (4th December). Highest photosynthetic activity was usually recorded below 25 m. Rates of carbon fixation varied between 0.089 μg C L^?1 h^?1 ± 0.002 and 0.579 μg C L^?1 h^?1 ± 0.156. Primary production was limited by low temperature and orthophosphate availability. 4. Mean bacterial concentration throughout the water column ranged between 9.3 × 10⁷ L^?1 ± 1.2 (23rd December) and 14.0 × 10⁷ L^?1 ± 1.8 (28th January). Bacterial production was low, less than 10% of primary production and ranged between 2.1 ng C L^?1 h^?1 ± 0.8 and 12 ng C L^?1 h^?1 ± 0.9. Highest rates coincided with times of highest primary production. On occasion dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations dropped to 20 μg L^?1, probably below accurate limits of detection, suggesting that carbon substratum and phosphorus may have limited bacterial growth. 5. Heterotrophic nanoflagellates varied significantly over the summer from a mean of 26.6 × 10⁴ L^?1 ± 14.2 (23rd December) to 133.8 × 10⁴ L^?1 ± 33.5 (14th December). They imposed a significant grazing impact on the bacterioplankton, removing in excess of 100% of bacterial production in December. 6. The total organic carbon pool [DOC and particulate organic carbon (POC)] was below 600 μg L^?1. The ratio of DOC : POC ranged between 0.44 : 1 and 2.8 : 1 in the upper 40 m of the water column, and 1.8 : 1 and 3.7 : 1 in the lower waters. The microbial plankton contributed 1–29% of POC, thus detrital POC made up the largest fraction of the POC pool. 7. Beaver Lake is an extreme lacustrine ecosystem where heterotrophic processes occasionally appear to be carbon limited. Significant summer ice‐melt, not seen in a previous opportunistic sampling, may be having an impact on the carbon cycle.

青藏高原淡水湖普莫雍错和盐水湖阿翁错湖底沉积物中细菌群落的垂直分布

【目的】湖泊沉积物中存储着大量独特的微生物,这些微生物在湖泊生态系统生物地球化学循环中扮演着非常重要的角色。然而,很少有研究报道微生物群落在湖泊沉积物中的垂直分布。本文比较研究青藏高原淡水湖普莫雍错和盐水湖阿翁错沉积物在不同深度下细菌的丰度和群落结构。【方法】利用定量PCR(q PCR)和变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)技术分别测定细菌群落的丰度与群落结构。【结果】定量PCR结果显示,湖泊沉积物中细菌丰度均随深度增加而降低,盐水湖阿翁错和淡水湖普莫雍错的细菌丰度分别从1011数量级降到108数量级,从1012数量级降到1010数量级。在相对应的沉积物层,淡水湖沉积物的细菌丰度比盐水湖高1-2个数量级。变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)指纹图谱的分析表明,淡水湖沉积物细菌群落的DGGE条带数(丰富度)显著高于盐水湖(P=0.014);淡水与盐水湖泊沉积物细菌群落结构明显不同,同时在同一湖泊沉积物中上层(0-6 cm)和下层(7-20 cm)细菌群落结构也呈明显分异。系统发育分析表明,盐水湖阿翁错沉积物特有菌门为Gamma-变形菌、拟杆菌门、蓝细菌和栖热菌门,而淡水湖普莫雍错沉积物中特有菌门为Delta-和Beta-变形菌、酸杆菌和绿弯菌门。【结论】青藏高原淡水与盐水湖泊沉积物细菌丰度与群落结构具有明显的差异;同时,细菌群落结构在沉积物的不同深度也表现出差异。这些结果可为进一步阐明青藏高原湖泊生态系统中微生物对气候环境变化的响应提供科学依据。     

Diel vertical distribution of zooplankton in Lake Naivasha,Kenya

Diurnal and diel vertical distribution of limnetic zooplankton species in relation to temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles was examined at a central station in Lake Naivasha. During calm days thermal stratification developed gradually from late morning to reach maximum formation at mid-day. Dissolved oxygen concentrations showed similar vertical profiles to temperature. These stratifications were, however, short lived and were broken up in late afternoons by the wind induced poly-holomictic nature of the lake. During the day most zooplankters aggregate at the top 3–4 metre zone of the water column coincident with maximum photosynthetic activity. The pattern of diel vertical distribution of zooplankton in Lake Naivasha is undefinedly even. The absence of significant diel changes in the distribution of the limnetic zooplankton may be related to the absence of permanent physico-chemical boundaries and lack of predation pressure in the open water.     

千岛湖浮游甲壳动物垂直分布与昼夜垂直移动

2004年6月、9月、12月及2005年3月于千岛湖温馨岛站点(29°38′10.5″N,119°01′54.1″E)进行浮游甲壳动物垂直分布分层采样,分析千岛湖浮游甲壳动物的垂直分布特征及优势种昼夜垂直移动状况。结果显示,千岛湖浮游甲壳动物主要分布在10～21 m水层,不同季节中心水层分布深度12月9月6月3月;浮游动物昼夜垂直移动春(3月)、夏(6月)两季幅度较大,秋(9月)、冬(12月)季节幅度较小;浮游甲壳动物优势种在各个水层都有分布,密集区大都集中在中上水层(10～21 m),不同种类昼夜垂直移动幅度有所不同;昼夜垂直移动显著的种类有特异荡镖水蚤(Neutrodiaptanus incongruens)、近邻剑水蚤(Cyclops vicinus)、球状许水蚤(Schmackeria forbesi)、透明溞(Daphnia hyaline)、长额象鼻溞(Bosmina longirostris),不显著的种类为右突新镖水蚤(Neodiaptomus schmackeri)、短尾秀体溞(Diaphanosoma brachyurum)。光照、温度、饵料是影响千岛湖浮游甲壳动物垂直分布及昼夜垂直移动的主要因素。
