The variation of the lipid content of a planktonic copepod species, Eudiaptomus gracilis G. O. Sars, was studied in an oligotrophic lake, Pääjärvi, southern Finland, during 1982. The variation was caused by changes in the food resources and by the use of lipids for reproduction. The lipids are partly present in the form of droplets, which provide an energy reserve for some of food shortage, or may be used in reproduction. The utilization of lipid droplets for nutrition was studied by culturing specimens of two species, Eudiaptomus gracilis and Thermocyclops oithonoides G. O. Sars, in the absence of food. It was found that about half of the energy required for the 30-hour experimental period was obtained from the lipid droplets. However, not all the animal groups could use their lipid droplets and they had to use other reserves to satisfy their energy requirement. Lipid droplets seemed to have only a minor effect on the sinking rate of Eudiaptomus gracilis.  相似文献

The Early and Middle Flandrian geological development and paleolimnology of Lake Spitaalijärvi was studied using pollen, diatom and cladoceran analysis and 14C dating. Spitaalijärvi was isolated from the Ancylus Lake about 9000 B.P., at which time birch and pine and plants typical of open habitat communities grew on the solitary island. The rational limits for Alnus and Picea were ca. 8300 B.P. and 3700 B.P., respectively. During the first few hundred years after isolation Spitaalijärvi was probably fairly eutrophic, with a low water level. Water level began to rise before the Alnus rise (A°) and the lake became oligotrophic. After another transgression, which started before the Picea rise (P°), Tabellaria binalis and Semiorbis hemicyclus appear in the diatom stratigraphy indicating ultra-oligotrophic conditions. The main reason for the ultra-oligotrophy of Lake Spitaalijärvi is the character of the parent material in the catchment, consisting of glacial and littoral deposits derived from the local quartz sandstone of highly siliceous nature.  相似文献

Water level regulation causes large-scale ecological changes in the littoral areas of lakes in northern Finland. If the summertime water level is raised, intensive erosion processes begin, causing a sudden decline in shore vegetation. The need for shore protection is obvious in areas of high recreational value. At lake Ontojärvi, planting experiments with littoral helophytes and bushes were carried out during the years 1990–92. All the experiments were carried out in the eroded sandy areas, which were partly protected by mechanical barriers. Several plant species were planted on the shore which had been treated with different peat mixtures, etc. The frequencies of the different species were followed monthly. After the first summer, the average survival rates were about 45 % due to the drying of seedlings. A rapid decrease in the survival rates took place during the high water level period in 1991 at which point only 20% of the planted individuals were alive. The best results were obtained for the helophyte Carex rostrata Stokes, of which 30% had survived erosion. Tall willows (Salix phylicifolia L.) were also erosion-resistant with a survival rate of 80%.  相似文献

The significance of nitrogen for algal growth was studied in Lake Vesijärvi in 1979 and 1980 by algal bioassay, using Selenastrum capricornutum and Anabaena cylindrica as test organisms. Nitrogen limited the growth of Selenastrum for the major part of the investigation period, while phosphorus seemed to be the most limiting factor for Anabaena. This difference was reflected in the in situ succession of phytoplankton. As the ratio of inorganic nitrogen to phosphate phosphorus became smaller, nitrogen-fixing blue-green algae became dominant. Nitrogen fixation was greatest at the beginning of July, coinciding with maximum heterocyst numbers.  相似文献

Horizontal distribution of phytoplankton was studied by sampling two grids, both having 16 sampling points. The distance between sampling points was 10 m. Phytoplankton species were enumerated by inverted microscopy and the observed distribution patterns were compared with a random distribution. Contagious distribution was common among the species studied. Both actively moving and passively drifting species showed significant contagiousness in their distribution. Actively moving and passively drifting species showed different distribution patterns. The effects of horizontal heterogeneity on phytoplankton sampling are discussed.  相似文献

Biomass development and vertical distribution of a Chlamydomonas population in a small humic forest lake was followed by daily sampling in May-June, 1984. Chlamydomonas dominated the phytoplankton spring bloom, forming 71% of the maximum phytoplankton biomass on 18 May. In early May the outflow rate was high and during the 24 hour period when the maximum rate of surface runoff was recorded (8–9 May), 43% of the Chlamydomonas biomass was flushed out of the lake, which delayed the onset of biomass increase. When surface runoff had slowed down Chlamydomonas biomass started increasing and during wax of the population most cells were < 10 µm in diameter. Population maximum lasted for one day (18 May) and there-after Chlamydomonas biomass decreased towards the end of the study. During wane of the population most cells were > 10 µm in diameter.  相似文献

Säkylän Pyhäjärvi (SW Finland) is an example of a large and shallow lake suffering from eutrophication. During the last 20 years, the quality and general usability of water in Pyhäjärvi have shown considerable variation driven by both a variety of human activities and climate-related factors such as wet and dry years. The lake has been thoroughly studied for decades and has been the object of comprehensive restoration activities both in the catchment and in the lake since the 1990s. Large variety of water protection measures like wetlands, sedimentation ponds and filtering systems have been implemented in the catchment area to reduce external nutrient load. Another important tool for Pyhäjärvi restoration is biomanipulation, done by local commercial fishermen in winter. Twenty-five percent of the annual phosphorus input is removed with fish catch. Currently, restoration work is facing new challenges: short or even nearly missing ice cover period and increased winter time nutrient load from the catchment. In the 2000s, there were 3 years with exceptionally short ice period, allowing only brief winter seining periods. Consequently, the biomanipulation catch was very low in 2007 and 2008 leading to observable food web effects. Phosphorus load was especially high in winters 2006/2007 and 2008/2009. On the basis of the data of 1987–2008, we have tested the hypothesis if climate-related winter time variables like phosphorus load, air temperature and precipitation would affect the water quality of the lake in following summer, here measured as chlorophyll a concentration in the lake water. A linear model has been used and a validation procedure has been performed to select the best variables. Our results indicate some of the linkages between climate-related catchment processes and the ecological status of the lake.  相似文献

The introduction and development of cultivation in eastern Finland was studied by pollen and charcoal analysis of a palaeomagnetically dated sediment profile from Lake Orijärvi, in the vicinity of permanent prehistoric fields. The earliest changes of possibly anthropogenic origin are visible in the pollen data from 1630 b.c. onwards and indications of human impact become more evident from 500 b.c. onwards. According to finds of cereal pollen and AMS-dating of charred cereal grains from the oldest field layer, the onset of cultivation can be dated to the Merovingian period around a.d. 600. To a significant extent the pollen data reflect only the cultivation of Secale during the first 600 years. The marked intensification of agricultural activities including cultivation in permanent fields only becomes evident in the pollen data from about a.d. 1050 to 1080 onwards and the most intensive land use phase dates to a.d. 1300–1965. Archaeological and palaeoecological material indicate that swidden cultivation and permanent field cultivation were in use simultaneously during the late Iron Age. The combination of these techniques together with animal husbandry and hunting formed a subsistence strategy in the climatic border-zone outside the centres of the agricultural core areas.  相似文献

Laminated sediment is deposited in the deep areas (> 30 m) of Lake Pääjärvi. In the diatom microstratigraphy a regular alteration of planktonic and littoral floras, which goes in pace with the visual structure, reflects the yearly cycle of sedimentation. Considerable variation in sedimentation was found to have occurred during the past two decades. A sequence, dated to the early 1960's, in which the organic content was exceptionally high, could be identified in the sediment at 6–14 cm depth even in shallower areas where laminations are not formed. This level was used as a marker horizon when determining the recent distribution of sediment by means of 19 cores taken from different parts of the lake. The average annual sediment accumulation in the profundal zone of the lake is 340 g m?2a?1 dry weight, of which 25 g m?2 a?1 (1100 kJ m?2 a?1) is organic carbon.  相似文献

Macro nutrients N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na and S as well as heavy metals Pb, Cu, Zn, Co, Cr, Ni, Fe and Mn were analysed from a sediment core representing a 7000-year long history of a lake including the preceding brackish (Litorina Sea) and freshwater (Ancylus Lake) stages. Sediments were also analysed for sedimentary pigments, algal growth potential (AGP) of the interstitial water, phosphorus fractions, pH, specific conductivity and redox potential. The annual accumulation values of several chemical elements were interpreted in light of other paleolimnological data from the same core. In the uppermost sediment stratum the influence of sewage pollution is clearly reflected by increases in total electrolyte content, pH, AGP and sedimentary pigments including myxoxanthophyll. Nickel, copper and manganese only slightly increase in the recent sediment, whilst other heavy metals (especially Cr and Zn) and sulphur, phosphorus, nitrogen and total organic matter are heavily concentrasted in the polluted surface sediment. The interpretation of the chemostratigraphy of the lake accords with evidence of lake development based on biological analyses.  相似文献

Lake Sysmäjärvi is located inside the municipal boundary of Outokumpu in North Karelia, Finland. Since 1928 metalliferous, and at a later stage highly acid waste-water, has been discharged into the lake. Neutralization of the lake water by liming was introduced, and by the end of 1966 the pH of the water had become neutral to alkaline. Two sediment cores (0.5 m and 5 m long, respectively) were analyzed for pollen, diatoms, loss-on-ignition, organic carbon, Fe, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Hg. The maximum concentrations of organic matter and heavy metal content occur 30 cm below the sediment surface. Evidence of the liming and of accelerated eutrophication appear close to the surface of the sediment (0–10 cm), indicated by an increase in Nitzschia plana.  相似文献

Lake Särkinen is a small lake in the parish of Sotkamo, Finland. The lake has been strongly enriched since the middle of the 1960's. The nutrient load was greatly reduced in 1969 and aeration was started in 1980.According to 210Pb dating sediment accumulation rates are lowest (ca 9 mg cm–2 yr–1) between about 1920 and 1960. Thereafter they rise to the present level (22 mg cm–2 yr–1).The diatom flora indicates rising eutrophy from the beginning of the 20th century and again in the 1950–60's period. The surface sample, which represents the 1980's, shows a change in diatom flora indicating lake recovery. Changes in nutrient concentrations and in the solubility of phosphorus in the sediments indicate signs of oxygen depletion.  相似文献

60 desmids were identified from plankton samples collected during 20 years, bimonthly, or monthly in 5 of the years. Only 5 desmids were perennial, performing cell divisions in a frozen lake at PAR at only 5 cal cm –2 day –1, below ice-cover. The greatest number of desmids per 100 ml lake water was found in September; it never exceeded 150. Owing to a concentration of free CO2 of only 0.02 mM l–1 and a HCO inf3 sup– concentration of 0.002 mM l–1 the densities of desmid cells were often smaller than 1 cell per 100 ml lake water. A density of 1 cell per 1 ml was attained only by Staurastrum longipes, a desmid showing temporal variation. The relation of the compound phytoplankton quotient to two components of the CO2-system is discussed. Three new taxa are described: Staurastrum brachiatum Ralfs var. bicorne n. var., Staurastrum thomassonii n.sp. and Xanthidium antilopaeum Kütz. f. bimaculatum n.f..  相似文献

The development of winter phytoplankton communities was studied in both shallow and deep areas of Lake Pääjärvi, southern Finland, during the final 2 weeks of winter ice cover. Phytoplankton was mainly composed of diatoms, cryptophytes and chrysophytes. The diatoms Aulacoseira and Rhizosolenia were always uniformly distributed with depth, initially probably due to mixing induced by heat flux from the sediment and later due to thermal convection. Motile Rhodomonas cryptophytes and Chrysococcus chrysophytes were most abundant near the ice showing that, despite their small size, they were partly able to resist mixing by convection. Their ability to stay in more illuminated water layers was reflected in net rates of increase about an order of magnitude higher than those of diatoms in the middle of the lake. Given the low temperatures and convection, the observed net rates of increase of motile taxa were very high compared to growth rates reported in the literature. The gradual increase in light availability following melting of ice led to a consistent increase in the abundances of major phytoplankton taxa irrespective of deep convective circulation. It is suggested that those algae most abundant at the time of ice break have a competitive advantage in the following open water conditions when nutrients are abundant but deep water circulation limits light availability. The results emphasize that in lakes which cool below the maximum density of water before freezing, apparently small differences in temperature and light conditions can cause important changes in the circulation patterns that impact on phytoplankton development.  相似文献

Data already examined by regression analysis were subjected to factor analysis to scrutinize the effects of environmental factors on microbial populations in the brackish waters of the Tv?rminne archipelago on the southern coast of Finland. Water samples were collected from 1.0-m depth at one point in Tv?rminne Storfj?rd, 71 times over about 2 years. Twenty-six parameters were determined on each sample, 10 of environmental and 16 of microbiological type. The correlations between the parameters were factorized using the principal axis solution, and eight factors chosen for further consideration were rotated by the varimax method. The major part of the variance (about 90% of the total communality) of the microbiological parameters was covered by five factors, interpreted as phytoplankton blooms, the periods before and after the blooms, freshwater outflows, and water temperature. Wind variables were components in the factors interpreted as freshwater outflows. Rainfall played a minor part in the total variance of the microbial community, but it washed yeasts and proteolytic bacteria from the land into the study area. The eight factors selected covered about 60 to 98% of the variance of the microbiological parameters. The highest values (above 90%) were obtained for direct counts of bacteria, for plate counts of mesophilic and polymyxin-resistant bacteria, and for the two community respiration parameters; the lowest values (60 to 75%) were obtained for H(2)S-producing and proteolytic bacteria.  相似文献

Lake Pääjärvi, a boreal Finnish lake, was investigated in winter for weather conditions, structure and thickness of ice and snow, solar radiation, and under-ice current and temperature. Heat budget of Lake Pääjärvi in January–March was governed by terrestrial radiation losses of 20–35 W m?2 recompensed by ice growth of 0.5–1.0 cm day?1. In April, snow melted, albedo decreased from 0.8 to <0.1, and the mean ice melt rate was 1.5 cm day?1. Internal melting and surface melting were about equal. The mean turbulent heat loss was small. The heat flux from the water to ice was about 5 W m?2 in winter, increasing to 12 W m?2 in the melting season. The light attenuation coefficient was 1.1 m?1 for the congelation ice (black ice) in winter, compared with 1.5 m?1 for the lake water, and it was up to 3 m?1 for candled congelation ice in spring, and about 10 m?1 for superimposed ice (white ice) and snow. Gas bubbles were the main factor that reduced the transparency of ice. The radiation penetrating the ice heated the water body causing convective currents and horizontal heat transfer. This increased the temperature of the water body to about 3°C before the ice break-up. After the snow had melted, the euphotic depth (the depth of 1% surface irradiance) was estimated as 2.0 m, only two-thirds that in summer.  相似文献

Two high-resolution pollen and charcoal analyses were constructed from sediments obtained from a small bay in eastern Finland in order to gain information on human activity during the Neolithic Stone Age, 5200–1800 bc. We used measurements of loss on ignition (LOI), magnetic susceptibility and geochemical analyses to describe the sedimentological characteristics. Palaeomagnetic dating and measurements of 137Cs-activity were supported by 14C-datings. The analyses revealed human activity between 4400 and 3200 bc, which is synchronous with archaeological cultures defined through different stages of Comb Ware pottery types and Middle Neolithic pottery types with asbestos as a primary temper. Direct evidence of Hordeum cultivation was dated to 4040–3930 cal bc. According to the pollen data, more significant effort was put into the production of fibres from hemp and lime than the actual cultivation of food.  相似文献
