Primary production was measured for 7 years, using the in situ14C-method in hypertrophic Hartbeespoort Dam, South Africa,to examine the influence of light and water temperature on theupper limit of Microcystis aeruginosa production. Water temperaturesvaried from 11 to >25°C and chlorophyll concentrationsreached 6500 mg m3. The maximum volumetric rate of production(Amax) was 12->8800 mg C m3 h1 with areal productions(A) of 69->3300 mg C m2 h1 for euphotic zonedepths of <0.58.4 m. The intrinsic parameters of phytoplanktonproduction (, Amax/B, Ik) indicated that the phytoplankton populationwas adapted to high light levels. Both Amax/B and Ik were correlatedwith temperature. Under optimal conditions, , the theoreticalupper limit of A, was calculated to be 2.8 g Cm2 h1,while the measured rate was 2.5 g Cm2 h1. Measuredareal rates exceeding were overestimated due to methodologicalproblems when working with Microcystis scums. Light and watertemperature interacted to yield high production rates: watertemperature through its direct effect on photosynthetic ratesand indirectly in the formation of diurnal mixed layers; lightindirectly through water temperature and directly through itsattenuation and induction of light-adapted physiology in Microcystis. 相似文献

Yield stress threshold (Y) and volumetric extensibility () arethe rheological properties that appear to control root growth.In this study they were measured in wheat roots by means ofparallel measurement of the growth rate (r) of intact wheatroots and of the turgor pressures (P) of individual cells withinthe expansion zone. Growth and turgor pressure were manipulatedby immersion in graded osmoticum (mannitol) solutions. Turgorwas measured with a pressure probe and growth rate by visualobservation. The influence of various growth conditions on Yand was investigated; (a) At 27 °C.In 0.5 mol m3 CaCl2 r, P, Y and were20.7±4.6 µm min1, 0.77±0.05 MPa,0.07±0.03 MPa and 26±1.9 µm min1MPa1 (expressed as increase in length), respectively.Following 24 h growth in 10 mol m3 KC1 these parametersbecame 12.3±3.5 µm min1, 0.72±0.04MPa, 0.13±0.01 MPa and 21±0.7 µm min1MPa1. After 24 h osmotic adjustment in 150 mol m3mannitol/0.5 mol m3 CaCl2 r= 19.6±4.2 µmmin1, P = 0.68±0.05 MPa and Y and were 0.07±0.04MPa and 30±0.2 µm min1 MPa01, respectively.After 24 h growth in 350 mol m3 mannitol/0.5 mol m3CaCl2 r= 13.3±4.1 µm min1, P= 0.58±0.07MPa, Y=0.12±0.01 MPa and ø 32±0.2 tim min1MPa1. During osmotic adjustment in 200 mol m3mannitol/0.5 mol m3 CaCl2, with or without KCl, the recoveryof growth rate corresponded to turgor pressure recovery (t1/2approximately 3 h). (b) At 15 °C. Lowered temperature dramatically influencedthe growth parameters which became r= 8.3±2.8 um min1,P=0.78 MPa, r=<0.2 MPa and =15±0.1 µm min1MPa1. Therefore, Y and are influenced by 10 mol m3 K+ ionsand low temperature. In each case the effective pressure forgrowth (P-Y) was large indicating that small fluctuations ofsoil water potential will not stop root elongation.

Ecological studies on the phytoplankton of Boknafjorden, western Norway. II. Environmental control of photosynthesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Both predicted (incubator) and measured (in situ) 14C-assimilationrates were studied from February to November 1981 at three stationsin Boknafjorden, a deep silled fjord of western Norway. Sampleswere taken from different light depths within the euphotic zone.A high degree of conformity was found between the two approaches.Daily values of carbon assimilation integrated over the euphoticzone varied between 0.05 and 1.4 g C m2. Yearly primaryproduction varied between stations from 82 to 112 g C m2(120148 g C m2 when based on average light conditions).The light-saturation curve parameters B and PBmax ranged from0.0056 to 0.0537 mg C mg Chla1 h1 µE1m2 and from 0.7 to 8.5 mg C mg Chla1 h2 (in situassimilation numbers ranged from 0.9 to 9.3 mg C mg Chla1h1) respectively, which compare well with those publishedfrom the northwestern side of the Atlantic. The overall importanceof light in controlling photosynthesis throughout the year wasrevealed by the light utilization index , estimated to be 0.43mg C mg Chla1 E1 m2. The maximum quantum yieldwas encountered on August 17, with 0.089 mol CE1. Chla/Cratios above and below 0.010 were found to be typical for shade-and light-adapted cells respectively. Assimilation numbers andgrowth rates were linearly related only when considering light-adaptedcells. Consistent with the findings of this study, the applicabilityof IK, B and PBmax as indicators of light-shade adaptation propertiesshould be questioned. Maximum growth rates were encounteredduring an autumn bloom of the dinoflagellate Gyrodinium aureolum(1.0 doublings day1), while 0.70.8 doublings day1were found for a winter bloom (water temperature of 2°C)of the diatom Skeletonema costatum. No unambiguous temperatureeffect on assimilation number and growth of phytoplankton couldbe recognized in Boknafjorden. A tendency towards increasedassimilation numbers coinciding with increased water columnstability was revealed. The highest PBmax values were oftenencountered at almost undetectable nutrient concentrations.At least during summer this could be attributed to recyclingof nutrients by macro- and/or microzooplankton, responsiblefor a greater part of the primary production now being grazeddown. This study supports the convention that the depth of theeuphotic zone may extend considerably below the 1% light depth. 相似文献

The structure of the zooplankton biotic community and of copepodpopulation in the coastal area of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea,Antarctica) was investigated during the 10th Italian AntarcticExpedition (1994/1995). Zooplankton biotic community consistedmainly of pteropods (Limacina helicina and Clione antarctica),Cyclopoid (Oithona similis), Poecilostomatoid (Oncaea curvata)and Calanoid (Ctenocalanus vanus, Paraeuchaeta antarctica, Metridiagerlachei and Stephos longipes) copepods, ostracods, larvalpolychaetes and larval euphausiids. Zooplankton abundance rangedfrom 48.1 ind m3 to 5968.9 ind m3, and copepodabundance ranged from 45.2 ind m3 to 3965.3 ind m3.The highest peak of zooplankton abundance was observed between25 m and the surface and was mainly due to the contributionof O. similis, O. curvata and C. vanus. Zooplankton biomassranged from 5.28 mg m3 to 13.04 mg m3 dry weight;the maximum value was observed between 25 m and the surface.Total lipid content varied from 216.44 to 460.73 mg g1dry weight. 相似文献

Effects of light flux density (LFD) during growth and uptakeassay on induction of transport system and kinetics of transport were studied using the Azolla pinnata-Anabaena azollae association (Azolla). Theinduction and uptake kinetics of the transport system were determined using an automated system that measuredthe NO3 concentration in the growth medium as a function oftime, using an on-line high performance liquid chromatograph(HPLC) with a UV-VIS detector. Full induction of the transport system required about 1.5 to 2.0 h and occurred without any apparent lag phase,regardless of the LFD provided. The level of induction of transport of Azolla grown at 600 µmol m2s1 LFD was higher than for that grown at 100 µmolm2 s1. Similarly, 600 µmol m1 s1LFD during the assay resulted in a higher level of inductionthan did 100 umol m2 s1. An increase in the LFDeither during the growth or the assay period increased the uptake rate; however, an increase in LFD duringthe latter period had greater effect. Azolla grown and assayedat 600 umol m2 s1 had the highest uptake rate. The uptake rate at 50 cm3 m3ambient CO2 concentration was initially higher than at 305 cm3m3, but the uptake rate decreased rapidly with time andeventually dropped below that at 305 cm3 m3 CO2. Thesedata suggest that the energy required for transport in Azolla may bypass the photosynthetic CO2 fixationand carbon-cycling.

Bot. 38:731751. The 42K influx () and the electrical conductance (Gm) were measured simultaneously for the membraneof internodal cells of Chara australis as a function of theexternal [KCl] (K?. In bathing solutions of pH = 5?0, progressively increased from 20?5to 430?60 nmol m2 s1 and Gm increased from 0?36?0?02to 3?8?0?8 S m2 when K? was increased from 0?1 to 10mol m3. The resting membrane potential difference (p.d.)was approximately -135 mV for low K? and approached the expectedNernst equilibrium p.d. for K+ ions when K? > 1?0 mol m3.Measurements of 36Cl influx suggested that the 42K influx waspredominantly electrogenic. The equivalent Goldman permeabilityto K+ ions (Pk) was approximately 2030 nm s1 anddid not vary significantly with increasing K?. The equivalentconductance attributable to the electrogenic transport of K+ ions was calculated from assuming passive, independent diffusionof K+ ions and the ratio was found to be typically close to one. It was also found that themagnitudes of and Gm measuredsimultaneously for each individual cell were also well correlatedfor K? 1?0 mol m3, and that the slope of the line ofbest fit was close to one. For each K? it was found that theconductance not attributable to K+ translocation and presumablyassociated primarily with the transport of protons or theirequivalents was typically 0?20?5 Sm2. For K? >1?0 mol m3 the results indicated that the transport ofK+ ions was essentially independent, i.e. there was no evidencefor flux interactions. The results also indicated that the equivalentconductance derived from the measured 42K influx could usefullyindicate the fraction of the electrical conductance attributableto the translocation of K+ ions.

In situ light measurements were used to obtain information oninherent and apparent optical properties. The average verticalattenuation coefficient Kd(ave) varied from 1.1 to 4.6 In unitsm1 During three periods the variation in Kd(ave) correlatedwith changes in chlorophyll a concentration and specific attenuationcoefficients Ks, of 0.013, 0.014 and 0.022 m2 mg Chl a1were calculated. Chlorophyll-specific diffuse absorption coefficients(A,) for these periods were 0.012. 0.013 and 0.017 m2 mg Chla1 and only varied significantly from estimates of Ksin the period when scattering was intense. Absorption coefficientsa(zmid) and scattering coefficients b(zmid) calculated for themid-point of the euphotic zone ranged between 0.45 and 2.9 mand 3.552.0 m respectively. Chlorophyll-specific absorptioncoefficients Ka, of 0.005, 0.006 and 0.007 m2 mg Chl a1and scattering coefficients Kb of 0.05. 0.09 and 0.191 m2 mgChl a1 were measured during the three periods. The highKb value occurred when gas-vacuolate cyanobactena were dominant.Algal photosynthesis and light absorption were related throughthe maximum quantum yield m which varied between 0.019 and 0.11mol C Einstein1 while average quantum yields a, variedbetween 0.006 and 0.024 with a mean of 0.013 mol C Einstein1A comparison of changes in the mean irradiance of the mixedzone and chlorophyll concentration indicated that growth waslight limited below 0.040.05 Einsteins absorbed mg Chla1 day1. 相似文献

Planktonic primary production in the German Wadden Sea 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
By combining weekly data of irradiance, attenuation and chlorophylla concentrations with photosynthesis (P) versus light intensity(E) curve characteristics, the annual cycle of planktonic primaryproduction in the estuarine part of the Northfrisian WaddenSea was computed for a 2 year period. Daily water column particulategross production ranged from 5 to 2200 mg C m2 day1and showed a seasonal pattern similar to chlorophyll a. Budgetcalculation yielded annual gross particulate primary productionsof 124 and 176 g C m2 year1 in 1995 and 1996,respectively. Annual amounts of phytoplankton respiration, calculatedaccording to a two-compartment model of Langdon [in Li,W.K.W.and Maestrini,S.Y. (eds), Measurement of Primary Productionfrom the Molecular to the Global Scale. International Councilfor the Exploration of the Sea, Copenhagen, 1993, pp. 2036],and dissolved production in 1996, were both in the range of2439 g C m2 year1. Annual total net productionwas thus very similar to particulate gross production (127 and177 g C m2 year1 in 1995 and 1996, respectively).Phytoplankton growth was low or even negative in winter. Inspring and summer, production/biomass (Pr/B) ratios varied from0.2 up to 1.7. Phytoplankton growth during the growth seasonalways surpassed average flushing time in the area, thus underliningthe potential of local phytoplankton bloom development in thispart of the Wadden Sea. The chlorophyll-specific maximum photosyntheticrate (PBmax) ranged from 0.8 to 9.9 mg C mg1 Chl h1and was strongly correlated with water temperature (r2 = 0.67).By contrast, there was no clear seasonal cycle in B, which rangedfrom 0.007 to 0.039 mg C mg1 Chl h1 (µmolphotons m2 s1)1. Its variability was muchless than PBmax and independent of temperature. The magnitudeand part of the variability of PBmax and B are presumably causedby changes in species composition, as evidenced from the rangeof these parameters found among 10 predominant diatom speciesisolated from the Wadden Sea. The ratio of average light conditionsin the water column (Eav) to the light saturation parameterEk indicates that primary production in the Wadden Sea regionunder study is predominantly controlled by light limitationand that nutrient limitation was likely to occur for a few hoursper day only during 5 (dissolved inorganic nitrogen) to 10 (PO4,Si) weeks in the 2 year period investigated. 相似文献

Factors controlling primary production in a hypertrophic lake (Hartbeespoort Dam, South Africa) 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The physical factors controlling algal primary production weredemonstrated from data collected for a hypertrophic lake. Amaxranged between 12.4 and 5916 mg C m3 h1. Arealrates (A) varied between 46.9 and 3381 mg C m2 h1.The factors permitting and controlling production were subjectivelyseparated into two categories. In category 1, nutrients (N +P), which were in overabundance, permitted large standing cropsof Microcystis aeruginosa to develop (>1000 µg chla 11). Wind patterns determined the dramatic spatialand temporal changes in algal standing crop which could dropto 2.7 µg chl a 11. In category 2 were the factorswhich affected the rate processes. The buoyancy mechanism ofMicrocystis usually kept the alga in the euphotic zone. A powerrelationship (r = 0.92, n = 54) between A and Amax/min showedthat with increasing phytoplankton vertical stratification,Amax was increasingly important in the integral. The saturationparameter IK and photosynthetic capacity were temperature dependent.Variations of A were significantly related to changes in watercolumn stability (g cm cm2) because both axes of thephotosynthesis depth-profile were affected by stability changes. 相似文献

Photoadaptation in Antarctic phytopfankton: variations in growth rate, chemical composition and P versus I curves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The response of phytoplankton to variations in the light regimewas studied during the VULCAN and ACDA cruises in the Antarctic.Unenriched batch cultures of 1219 days' duration reachedchl concentrations of 1050 µg1 and exhibitedexponential growth rates, with the maximal rate being 0.41 doubl,day1. Ice edge algae exhibited maximum growth rates atphoton flux densities (PFD) of 30100 µE m2S1and the growth rate was reduced by about 30% at 5001000µE m2S1 The chl/C ratio ranged between 0.004and 0.018, with the lowest ratios at PFDs above 500 µEm2S1 chl/C ratios were also below maximum at PFDsbelow 4050 µE m2S1 The C:N:P ratioswere close to the Redfield ratios; the Si/C ratio averaged 0.16(atoms), and the ATP/C ratio averaged from 0.0024 to 0.0050in different culture senes. When thawed after having been frozenfor 10 days, shade-adapted cultures were in a much better conditionthan sun-adapted ones. P versus I data showed that the maximumassimilation number varied from 0.75 to 4.4 µg C (µgchl)1h1. It varied inversely with the chl/C ratio;therefore the maximum carbon turnover rate varied little betweensamples (0.024/0.035 h1). Low biomass communities exhibitedrelatively high values for (the initial slope of P versus Icurves), low values for 1sat (160330 µE m2S1),and they were susceptible to photoinhibition. In contrast, communitiesdominated by Odontella weissflogii exhibited low values for, a high value for Isat (560 µE m2S1 andthey tolerated high PFDs. The photo-adaptational status of thephytoplankton in natural water samples is discussed relativeto the profile of water column stability and mixing processes. 相似文献

Density and distribution of bacterioplankton and planktonic ciliates in the Bering Sea and North Pacific 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The total number of planktonic bacteria in the upper mixed layerof the Bering Sea during the late spring-early summer periodranged between 1 and {small tilde}4 x 106 ml1 (biomass1040mg C m3). In the northern Pacific, along 47526N,the corresponding characteristics of the bacterioplankton densityin the upper mixed water layer were: total number 12x 106 cells ml1 and biomass 1546mg C m3Below the thermocline at 50100 m, the density of bacterioplanktonrapidly decreased. At 300 m depth, it stabilized at 0.10.2x 106 cells ml1. The integrated biomass of bacterioplanktonin the open Bering Sea ranged between 1.2 and 3.6 g C m2(wet biomass 618 g m2) Its production per dayvaried from 2 to 23 mg C m3 days1 in the upper0100 m. The numerical abundance of planktonic ciliatesin this layer was estimated to be from 3 to l0 x 103 cells l1,and in the northern Pacific from 0.4 to 4.5 x 103 l2.Their populations were dominated by naked forms of Strombidium,Strombilidium and Tontonia. In some shelf areas, up to 40% ofthe total ciliate population was represented by the symbioticciliate Mesodinium rubrum. The data on the integrated biomassof basic groups of planktonic microheterotrophs are also presented,and their importance in the trophic relationships in pelagiccommunities of subarctic seas is discussed. 相似文献

A brief account is givenof the use of the equipment with a simulated sward of perennialryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Uptake of measured over three successive days in June, varied with dailysolar radiation and exceeded 1000 mg N m2 d1.The uptake of showed a pattern of diurnal variation similar to the variation in solar radiation, but witha lag period for uptake of 5 h. Hourly uptake rates ranged from32 to 67 mg N m2h1 and solar radiation from 0to 2.8 MJ m2 h1. During a 24 h period, additionalmeasurements were made of K+ uptake and net H+ efflux, bothof which showed patterns of diurnal variation with lag periodsof 6 h hand 7 h, respectively.

Results are presented of size-fractionated primary productionstudies conducted in the vicinity of the Subtropical Front (STF),an adjacent warm-core eddy, and in Sub-antarctic waters duringthe third South African Antarctic Marine Ecosystem Study (SAAMESIII) in austral winter (June/July) 1993. Throughout the investigation,total chlorophyll (Chl a) biomass and production were dominatedby small nano- and picophytoplankton. No distinct patterns intotal Chl a were evident. At stations (n = 7) occupied in thevicinity of the STF, total integrated biomass values rangedfrom 31 to 53 mg Chl a m2. In the vicinity of the eddy,integrated biomass at the eddy edge (n = 3) ranged from 24 to54 mg Chl a m2 and from 32 to 43 mg Chl a m2 inthe eddy (n = 2). At the station occupied in the Sub-antarcticwaters, total integrated biomass was 43 mg Chl a m2.Total daily integrated production was highest at stations occupiedin the vicinity of the STF and at the eddy edge. Here, totalintegrated production ranged from 150 to 423 mg C m2day1 and from 244 to 326mg C m2 day1, respectively.In the eddy centre, total integrated production varied between134 and 156 mg C m2 day1. At the station occupiedin the Sub-antarctic waters, the lowest integrated production(141 mg C m2 day1) during the entire survey wasrecorded. Availability of macronutrients did not appear to limittotal production. However, the low silicate concentrations duringthe survey may account for the predominance of small nano- andpicophytoplankton. Differences in production rates between theeddy edge and eddy core were related to water column stability.In contrast, at stations occupied in the vicinity of the STF,the control of phytoplankton production appears to be relatedto several processes, including water column stability and,possibly, iron availability. 相似文献

Zooplankton in the Vasikkalampi pond, a warm water effluent recipient in Central Finland 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Seasonal and vertical fluctuations of zooplankton species composition,biomass, and production were monitored by weekly sampling duringa two year period in one eutrophic pond in Central Finland.The study was one part of a more comprehensive study programto investigate the effects of warm water effluents from onesmall thermal power plant (35 MW) on the pond ecosystem. Becauseof the circulation of the pond water through the pumps in thepower plant the crustacean populations were very sparse in planktonduring the seasons the power plant was in operation (late Augustto May). During that time rotifers were dominant and some speciesreached very high densities (e.g., Keratella cochlearis s.l.ca. 15 000 ind. l1 in sping). In summer months Asplanchnapriodonta, Ceriodaphnia quadrangula, Bosmina longirostris, Mesocyclopsleuckarti and Thermocyclops oithonoides were dominant. A totalof 96 planktonic and meroplanktonic taxa were identified (26ciliates, 46 rotifers, 21 cladocerans and 3 copepods). The dryweight biomass of total zooplankton was 10 mg m3 in wintermonths, 10100 mg m3 in spring and 3001000mg m3 in summer. The total yearly production of zooplanktonwas 8552 mg dry wt m3 a1 in 1979 and 8440 mg drywt m3 a1 in 1980, from which the proportion ofrotifers was 3339%, cladocerans 5258% and copepods8.6 9.4%. The winter production was 0.20.5% ofthe total yearly production, that of spring and autumn togetherwas 8.110.4% and the remainder (8991%) was summerproduction. 相似文献

Phosphate uptake rates in Synechococcus R-2 in BG-11 media (anitrate-based medium, not phosphate limited) were measured usingcells grown semi-continuously and in continuous culture. Netuptake of phosphate is proportional to external concentration.Growing cells at pHo 10 have a net uptake rate of about 600pmol m2 s1 phosphate, but the isotopic flux for32P phosphate was about 4 nmol m2 s1. There appearsto be a constitutive over-capacity for phosphate uptake. TheKm and Vmax, of the saturable component were not significantlydifferent at pHo 7.5 and 10, hence the transport system probablyrecognizes both H2PO4and HPO24. The intracellularinorganic phosphate concentration is about 3 to 10 mol m3,but there is an intracellular polyphosphate store of about 400mol m3. Intracellular inorganic phosphate is 25 to 50kJ mol1 from electrochemical equilibrium in both thelight and dark and at pHo 7.5 and 10. Phosphate uptake is veryslow in the dark ( 100 pmol m2 s1) and is light-activated(pHo 7.51.3 nmol m2 s1, pHo 10600 pmol m2s1). Uptake has an irreversible requirement for Mg2+in the medium. Uptake in the light is strongly Na+-dependent.Phosphate uptake was negatively electrogenic (net negative chargetaken up when transporting phosphate) at pHo 7.5, but positivelyelectrogenic at pHo 10. This seems to exclude a sodium motiveforce driven mechanism. An ATP-driven phosphate uptake mechanismneeds to have a stoichiometry of one phosphate taken up perATP (1 PO4 in/ATP) to be thermodynamically possible under allthe conditions tested in the present study.

The effects of 0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mol m3NaCl on growth and ion accumulation in the succulent, coastalhalophyte Sarcocornia natalensis (Bunge ex Ung.-Sternb.) A.J. Scott were investigated. Increase in salinity from 0 to 300 mol m3 NaCl stimulatedproduction of fresh, dry, and organic dry mass, increased succulenceand shifted resource allocation from roots to shoots. Growthwas optimal at 300 mol m3 and decreased with furtherincrease in salinity. Water contributed to a large proportion of the increase in freshmass. Inorganic ions, especially Na+ and Cl contributedsubstantially to the dry mass. At 300 mol m3 NaCl inorganicions contributed to 37% of total dry mass and NaCl concentrationin the shoots was 482 mol m3. Expressed sap osmotic potentialsdecreased from 2.10 to 3.95 MPa as salinity increasedfrom 0 to 300 mol m3 NaCl. Massive accumulation of inorganicions, especially Na+ and Cl, accounted for 86% of theosmotic adjustment at 300 mol m3 NaCl. Salinity treatments decreased the concentrations of K+ in shoots.Plant Na+ :K+ ratios increased steadily with salinity and reacheda maximum of 16.6 at 400 mol m3 NaCl. It is suggested that the exceptional salt tolerance of S. natalensisis achieved by massive inorganic ion accumulation which providessufficient solutes for osmoregulation, increased water fluxand turgor-induced growth.

The population abundances and rates of biomass production ofheterotrophic nanoplankton (HNAN) in Georgia coastal waterswere evaluated by epifluorescence microscopy. HNAN populations(mostly non-pigmented microflagellates <10 µm in diameter)ranged from 0.3 x 103 cells ml1 in shelf waters 15 kmoffshore to 6.3 x 103 cells ml1 in waters 0.25 km fromthe coast. There was a strong correlation (r = 0.83) betweenHNAN and free bacterioplankton population abundances, but noapparent relation (r = 0.38) between HNAN and phototrophic nanopLankton(PNAN) abundances. HNAN biomass production in estuarine andnearshore shelf waters, as estimated from increases in HNANpopulations during laboratory incubations of natural water samples,ranged from 0.10 to 0.79 mg C m3 h3, with populationgeneration times of 9.7 to 26.5 h. There was a significant linearrelation (r = 0.95) between HNAN biomass and HNAN productivity.We calculated that HNAN may graze at least 30% to 50% of dailybacterioplankton production in Georgia coastal waters. 相似文献

The seasonal time course of phytoplankton primary productivitywas studied weekly in a hypertrophic, gravel-pit lake closeto Madrid, Spain. Chlorophyll a ranged 22445 mg m2.Gross primary productivity attained 0.28±0.14 g C m2h1 (range: 0.060.60), its yearly value being 900g C m2, but the shallow euphotic depths and the highplankton respiration ensured that net productivity was generallylow. Respiration losses amounted to 0.31±0.24 g O2 m2h1, with phytoplankton respiration roughly attainingone-half of overall plankton respiration. Areal phytoplanktonproductivity and plankton respiration followed a seasonal trendbut this was not the case for photosynthetic capacity. Surfacephotoinhibition was evenly distributed throughout the study.Quantum yields showed an increasing depth trend, but no seasonaltrend. Both Pmax and Ik were both temperature- and irradiance-dependent.As compared with lakes of lesser trophic degree, phytoplanktonprimary production in hypertrophic lakes might be increasednot only by higher nutrient contents but also by low chlorophyll-specificattenuation coefficients and low background, non-algal attenuation,thereby allowing for higher areal chlorophyll contents and hencehigher areal productivity. Our study suggests that physical(irradiance and water column stability) as well as chemicalfeatures (dissolved inorganic carbon and soluble reactive phosphorus)may control seasonality of phytoplankton primary productionin this lake despite recent claims that only physical factorsare of significance in hypertrophic lakes. However, this doesnot explain all the variability observed and so a food web controlis also likely to be operating. 相似文献
