Benthic microalgae are known to perform important ecosystem functions in shallow lakes. As such it is important to understand
the environmental variables responsible for regulating community structure, positioning and biomass. We tested the hypothesis
that the positioning (across a depth gradient of 2–22 m overlying water depth) and relative biomass (determined using bulk
and lens tissue harvested chlorophyll (Chl) a concentrations) of the epipelon community would vary independently with season (12 monthly samples) and across natural gradients
of light and habitat disturbance relative to the total benthic algal community (i.e. all viable microalgae in the surface
sediments) in a shallow eutrophic loch. Total sediment microalgal Chl a concentrations (TS-Chl; range: 5–874 μg Chl a g−1 dw) were highest in winter and in the deepest site (20 m overlying water depth), apparently as a result of phytoplanktonic
settling and sediment focussing processes. Epipelic Chl a concentrations (Epi-Chl; range: <0.10–6.0 μg Chl a g−1 dw) were highest in winter/spring, a period when water clarity was highest and TS-Chl lowest. Principal components analysis
highlighted strong associations between Epi-Chl and sites of intermediate depths (2.5–5.5 m) in all seasons except autumn/winter.
Autumn/winter represented the season with the highest average wind speeds preceding sampling, during which the highest Epi-Chl
concentrations were associated with the deepest sites. Epi-Chl was associated with intermediate light and habitat disturbance
during spring/summer and summer/autumn and varied positively with habitat disturbance, only, in autumn/winter and winter/spring.
The epipelon community structure also varied with depth; diatoms dominated shallow water sediments, cyanobacteria dominated
deep water sediments, and sediments at sites of intermediate depth returned the highest biovolume estimates and the most diverse
communities. This study has strengthened the hypothesis that the structure and biomass of benthic microalgal communities in
lakes are regulated by habitat disturbance and water clarity, both of which are expected to respond to climate change and
eutrophication. The degree to which these structural responses reflect functional performance requires clarification. 相似文献

Composition of microelements and photosynthetic pigment content (chlorophylls (Chl) a and b) were monitored in growing needles of spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and Siberian fir (Abies sibirica Ledeb.) during spring-autumn vegetation period. The dynamics of fresh weight and needle length for the first-year needles
of spruce and fir revealed a number of shared and species-specific features in growth patterns of photosynthetic organs. In
the beginning of growth period (in May), the needles elongated rapidly, while June–July were marked by the increase in needle
weight. In P. abies the needle weight accumulated rapidly (specific growth rates μmax up to 0.20 day−1) over a short period (14 days), while in A. sibirica the needle weight increased slower (μmax ≤ 0.11 day−1) but over a longer period (≥30 days). The dynamics of Chl a and Chl b content and their ratio were identical in needles of both species over the growth period, although changes in Chl a were pronounced stronger than those in Chl b. In spring (May), a relatively high total Chl content per needle dry weight was noted. In summer (June–August), the total
Chl content declined appreciably. In autumn (September–November), the total chlorophyll content in first-year needles increased
slightly. Microelements were classified into two groups according to seasonal dynamics of their relative content in first-year
needles. The first group includes Ba, Mn, Zn, B, Cu, Co, Cr, Pb, and Mo, whose relative content had a distinctive maximum
in July, coincident with the peak in Chl content. The second group comprises Ni, V, Ag, Be, Cd, and As, whose relative content
was minimal at this period. Seasonal changes in microelement composition were similar for the two conifer species examined,
which is likely due to different physiological values of various microelements for photosynthetic organs. 相似文献

Diallyl sulfide (DAS) and diallyl disulfide (DADS) at 25 g ml–1decreased the benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P)-induced colony growth inhibition of human epidermal keratinocytes. DAS and DADS decreased B[a]P-DNA and B[a]P-protein adducts by 65% and 49–55%, respectively. The B[a]P-induced ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity, a marker enzyme for cytochrome P450 1, was decreased from 3 to 1.7–1.9 nmol min–1 mg–1 microsomal protein by DAS and DADS treatments. The activity of glutathione S-transferase, a detoxifying enzyme for B[a]P, but was decreased by DADS, but was unaffected by DAS. 相似文献

Epilithic chlorophyll a,photosynthesis, and respiration in control and fertilized reaches of a tundra stream 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Photosynthesis and respiration by the epilithic community on cobble in an arctic tundra stream, were estimated from oxygen
production and consumption in short-term (4–12 h), light and dark, chamber incubations. Chlorophyll a was estimated at the end of each incubation by quantitatively removing the epilithon from the cobble.
Fertilization of the river with phosphate alone moderately increased epilithic chlorophyll a, photosynthesis, and respiration. Fertilization with ammonium sulfate and phosphate, together, greatly increased each of
these variables. Generally, under both control and fertilized conditions, epilithic chlorophyll a concentrations (mg m−2), photosynthesis, and respiration (mg O2 m−2, h−1) were higher in pools than in riffles. Under all conditions, the P/R ratio was consistent at ∼ 1.8 to 2.0. The vigor of epilithic
algae in riffles, estimated from assimilation coefficients (mg O2 [mg Chl a]−1 h−1) was greater than the vigor of epilithic algae in pools. However, due to the greater accumulation of epilithic chlorophyll
a in pools, total production (and respiration) in pools exceeded that in riffles. The epilithic community removed both ammonium
and nitrate from water in chambers. Epilithic material, scoured by high discharge in response to storm events and suspended
in the water column, removed ammonium and may have increased nitrate concentrations in bulk river water. However, these changes
were small compared to the changes exerted by attached epilithon. 相似文献

1. The macroinvertebrate fauna living on stones in the exposed stony littorals of thirty-nine Danish lakes were examined by multivariate numerical methods. The data were derived from 125 semi-quantitative samples and a species list of 126 taxa. The mean number of individuals per sample was 960, and among the most common taxa were Asellus aquaticus, Gammarus, Oulimnius, Tinodes, Cricotopus and Dicrotendipes. 2. The total number of species and fourteen individual taxa were positively correlated to mean depth of the lakes and eleven taxa were correlated to the total phosphorus concentration. The Shannon diversity was negatively correlated to the chlorophyll a concentration ([Chl a]). 3. Community patterns were examined by detrended correspondence analysis (DCA), and the relationship between species data and selected environmental variables was analysed by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Mean lake depth was found to be the strongest environmental variable in explaining the species data. The [Chl a] and Secchi depth also explained significant variation in the distribution of the stony littoral invertebrates. Wind fetch and relative exposure did not explain any variation in the faunal composition among sites. 4. The abilities of the macroinvertebrates to predict the lake trophic state, expressed as log ([Chl a]), were explored by means of weighted averaging (WA) regression and calibration. Two tolerance-weighted WA models using inverse and classical regression for deshrinking are presented. The models were assessed by the root mean square error (RMSE) of prediction, using bootstrapping as cross validation, and by the correlation between observed and inferred log ([Chl a]). The model using inverse deshrinking had a RMSEboot = 0.41 and r2 = 0.63. By using classical regression, the predictability in the ends of the gradient was improved but the RMSE increased: RMSEboot = 0.46. 5. Although the factors determining faunal distribution patterns in the Danish lowland lakes were highly multivariate and difficult to disentangle, it seems reasonable to use the WA estimated species optima and tolerances to [Chl a] in a bio-assessment model. 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.

In cultures of hamster embryo cells, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is metabolized primarily in the bay region. In contrast, little or no bay region metabolism of the noncarcinogenic isomer benzo[e]pyrene (B[e]P) could be detected during 12–96-h incubations of hamster embryo cells with 4 μM [3H]B[e]P. The upper limit to 9,10-dihydro-9,10-dihydroxy-B[e]P formation is about 0.2% of the ethyl acetate-soluble metabolites ( <0.1% of the total metabolites). The major identified metabolites of B[e]P were 4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxy B[e]P and the glucuronide conjugates of 3-OH-B[e]P and 4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxy B[e]P. Simultaneous treatment of cells with either B[a]P or 7,8-benzoflavone (BF) did not induce bay region metabolism of [3H]B[e]P. 相似文献

The degradation of eight unlabeled highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and the mineralization of three
14C-labeled PAH by the white-rot fungus Pleurotus sp. Florida was investigated. Three concentrations containing 50, 250 or 1250 μg each unlabeled PAH/5 g straw were added
to sterile sea sand. Selected treatments were added subsequently with 14C-labeled pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene or benzo[a]pyrene. The PAH-loaded sea sand was then mixed into straw substrate and incubated. The disappearance of the unlabeled four-to
six-ring PAH: pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene and benzo[ghi]perylene, was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. After 15 weeks of incubation, the recoveries were less
than 25% for initial amounts of 50 μg (controls above 85%). The recoveries of unlabeled PAH increased in the inoculated samples
with increasing concentrations applied. No correlation could be determined between the number of condensed rings of the PAH
and the recoveries of added PAH. Pleurotus sp. Florida mineralized 53% [14C]pyrene, 25% [14C]benzo[a]anthracene and 39% [14C]benzo[a]pyrene to 14CO2 in the presence of eight unlabeled PAH (50 μg applied) within 15 weeks. During the course of cultivation, Pleurotus sp. Florida degraded more than 40% of the wheat straw substrate. Variation of the initial concentration of PAH did not influence
the extent of degradation of the organic matter.

The aim of this work was to assess the effect of leaf thickness, leaf succulence (LS), specific leaf area (SLA), specific leaf mass (Ws) and leaf water content (LWC) on chlorophyll (Chl) meter values in six Amazonian tree species (Carapa guianensis, Ceiba pentandra, Cynometra spruceana, Pithecolobium inaequale, Scleronema micranthum and Swietenia macrophylla). We also tested the accuracy of a general calibration equation to convert Minolta Chl meter (SPAD-502) readings into absolute Chl content. On average, SPAD values (x) increased with fresh leaf thickness (FLT [μm] = 153.9 +
0.98 x, r
2 = 0.06**), dry leaf thickness (DLT [μm] = 49.50 + 1.28 x, r
2 = 0.16**), specific leaf mass (Ws [g (DM) m−2] = 6.73 + 1.31 x, r
2 = 0.43**), and leaf succulence (LS [g(FM)] m−2 = 94.2 + 1.58 x, r
2 = 0.19**). However, a negative relationship was found between SPAD values and either specific leaf area [SLA (m2 kg−1) = 35.1 − 0.37 x, r
2 = 0.38**] or the leaf water content (LWC [%]= 80.0 − 0.42 x, r
2 = 0.58**). Leaf Chl contents predicted by the general calibration equation significantly differed (p<0.01) from those estimated by species-specific calibration equations. We conclude that to improve the accuracy of the SPAD-502 leaf thickness and LWC should be taken into account when calibration equations are to be obtained to convert SPAD values
into absolute Chl content. 相似文献

Nutrient balances and phytoplankton dynamics in two agriculturally loaded shallow lakes 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
The impact of agriculture was estimated on two shallow, eutrophic lakes, Lake Kotojärvi and Lake Villikkalanjärvi in southern Finland. The main emphasis was on phosphorus and nitrogen budgets and on the phytoplankton dynamics. Special attention was paid to internal P loading and blue-green algal blooms. The mean Tot-P load from agricultural land was 1.2 kg ha-1 a-1 in both basins and Tot-N loads were 19 kg ha-1 a-1 in L. Villikkalanjärvi and 12 kg ha-1 a-1 in L. Kotojärvi. The Tot-P input to L. Kotojärvi was on an average 0.62 g m-2 a-1 (per lake surface area), and the Tot-N input 9.1 g m-2 a-1. The corresponding inputs to L. Villikkalanjärvi were 3.1 and 57 g m-2 a-1, respectively. The annual variation followed the runoff volumes. About half of the Tot-P and one third of the Tot-N load was retained in L. Kotojärvi. In L. Villikkalanjärvi the retention was only 24% for Tot-P and 19% for Tot-N. The difference was very probably due to a longer theoretical retention time in L. Kotojärvi. In L. Villikkalanjärvi the mean concentration of Tot-P was 120 µg 1-1 and that of Tot-N 1700 µg 1-1 and the corresponding figures in L. Kotojärvi 67 and 990 µg 1-1, respectively. The mean chlorophyll a concentration was, however, higher in L. Kotojärvi (26 µg 1-1) than in L. Villikkalanjärvi (20 µg 1-1). This was probably due to an internal P load in L. Kotojärvi: in 1988 the internal load of dissolved P was estimated to be as much as twofold the external load. In L. Villikkalanjärvi the internal dissolved P load was only up to 50% of the external input. In L. Kotojärvi the high internal P load coupled with a low DIN:DIP ratio resulted in a strong blue-green algal bloom in the summer of 1988. In L. Villikkalanjärvi blue-green algae were observed only in small amounts. Even in August 1990, when the DIN:DIP ratio was low enough to favor the occurrence of blue-green algae, they contributed only up to 10–15% of the total phytoplankton biomass. 相似文献

The building blocks fac-[99mTc{κ3-HB(timMe)3}(CO)3] and fac-[99mTc{κ3-R(μ-H)B(timMe)2}(CO)3] [R is H (4a), Ph (5a); timMe is 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazolyl] were obtained almost quantitatively by reacting fac-[99mTc(CO)3(H2O)3]+ with the corresponding scorpionate. These compounds cross the intact blood–brain barrier in mice, with significant retention in the case of 4a and 5a. Using 4a as the lead structure, we have synthesized the functionalized complexes fac-[M{κ3-H(μ-H)B(timBu-pip)2}(CO)3] [M is Re (8), 99mTc (8a); timBu-pip is methyl[4-((2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl)butyl](2-mercapto-1-methylimidazol-5-yl)methanamide] and fac-[M{κ
3-H(μ-H)B(timMe)(timBu-pip)}(CO)3] [M is Re (9), 99mTc (9a)] and evaluated their potential as radioactive probes for the targeting of brain 5-HT1A serotonergic receptors. The Re complexes exhibit excellent affinity [IC50=0.172 ± 0.003 nM (8); IC50=0.65 ± 0.01 nM (9)] for the 5-HT1A receptor. The radioactive congeners (99mTc) have shown an initial brain uptake of 1.38 ± 0.46%ID g−1 (8a) and 0.43 ± 0.12%ID g−1 (9a), but suffer from a relatively fast washout. 相似文献

We present data from a long time-series study to describe the factors that control phytoplankton population densities and
biomass in the coastal waters of Oman. Surface temperature, salinity, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a (Chl a), and phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance of sea water were measured as far as possible from February 2004 through February
2006, at two stations along the southern coast of the Gulf of Oman. The highest concentrations of Chl a (3 mg m−3) were recorded during the southwest monsoon (SWM) when upwelling is active along the coast of Oman. However, results from
our study reveal that the timing and the amplitude of the seasonal peak of Chl a exhibited interannual variability, which might be attributed to interannual differences in the seasonal cycles of nutrients
caused either by coastal upwelling or by cyclonic eddy activity. Monthly variability of SST and concentrations of dissolved
nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate together explained about 90% of the seasonal changes of Chl a in the coastal ecosystem of the Gulf of Oman. Phytoplankton communities of the coastal waters of Oman were dominated by diatoms
for most part of the year, but for a short period in summer, dinoflagellates were dominant. 相似文献

In an experimental site for reforestation of degraded area, three-year-old plants of Bertholletia excelsa Humb. & Bonpl. were subjected to different fertilization treatments: T0 = unfertilized control, T1 = green fertilization
(branches and leaves) and T2 = chemical fertilization. Higher net photosynthetic rates (P
N) were observed in T1 [13.2±1.0 μmol(CO2) m−2 s−1] compared to T2 [8.0±1.8 μmol(CO2) m−2 s−1] and T0 [4.8±1.3 μmol(CO2) m−2 s−1]. Stomatal conductance (g
s), transpiration rate (E) and water use efficiency (WUE) of individuals of T1 and T2 did not differ significantly, however, they were by 88, 55 and
63%, respectively, higher in T1 than in the control. The mean values of variable fluorescence (Fv), performance index (P.I.) and total chlorophyll [Chl (a+b)] were higher in T1. Our results indicate that green fertilization improves photosynthetic structure and function in plants
of B. excelsa in young phase. 相似文献

Large inocula of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia VUN 10,003 were used to investigate bacterial degradation of benzo[a]pyrene and dibenz[a,h]anthracene. Although strain VUN 10,003 was capable of degrading 10–15 mg l−1 of the five-ring compounds in the presence of pyrene after 63 days, further addition of pyrene after degradation of the five-ring
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ceased did not stimulate significant decreases in the concentration of benzo[a]pyrene or dibenz[a,h]anthracene. However, pyrene was degraded to undetectable levels 21 days after its addition. The amount of benzo[a]pyrene and dibenz[a,h]anthracene degraded by strain VUN 10,003 was not affected by the initial concentration of the compounds when tested at 25–100
mg l−1, by the accumulation of by-products from pyrene catabolism or a loss of ability by the cells to catabolise benzo[a]pyrene or dibenz[a,h]anthracene. Metabolite or by-product repression was suspected to be responsible for the inhibition: By-products from the
degradation of the five-ring compounds inhibited their further degradation. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2002) 28, 88–96 DOI: 10.1038/sj/jim/7000216

Data from several years of monthly samplings are combined with a 1-year detailed study of carbon flux through bacteria at
a NW Mediterranean coastal site to delineate the bacterial role in carbon use and to assess whether environmental factors
or bacterial assemblage composition affected the in situ rates of bacterial carbon processing. Leucine (Leu) uptake rates
[as an estimate of bacterial heterotrophic production (BHP)] showed high interannual variability but, on average, lower values
were found in winter (around 50 pM Leu−1 h−1) as compared to summer (around 150 pM Leu−1 h−1). Leu-to-carbon conversion factors ranged from 0.9 to 3.6 kgC mol Leu−1, with generally higher values in winter. Leu uptake was only weakly correlated to temperature, and over a full-year cycle
(in 2003), Leu uptake peaked concomitantly with winter chlorophyll a (Chl a) maxima, and in periods of high ectoenzyme activities in spring and summer. This suggests that both low molecular weight
dissolved organic matter (DOM) released by phytoplankton, and high molecular weight DOM in periods of low Chl a, can enhance BHP. Bacterial respiration (BR, range 7–48 μg C l−1 d−1) was not correlated to BHP or temperature, but was significantly correlated to DOC concentration. Total bacterial carbon
demand (BHP plus BR) was only met by dissolved organic carbon produced by phytoplankton during the winter period. We measured
bacterial growth efficiencies by the short-term and the long-term methods and they ranged from 3 to 42%, increasing during
the phytoplankton blooms in winter (during the Chl a peaks), and in spring. Changes in bacterioplankton assemblage structure (as depicted by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
fingerprinting) were not coupled to changes in ecosystem functioning, at least in bacterial carbon use. 相似文献

Using a free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiment, poplar trees (Populus × euramericana clone I214) were exposed to either ambient or elevated [CO2] from planting, for a 5-year period during canopy development, closure, coppice and re-growth. In each year, measurements
were taken of stomatal density (SD, number mm−2) and stomatal index (SI, the proportion of epidermal cells forming stomata). In year 5, measurements were also taken of leaf
stomatal conductance (g
s, μmol m−2 s−1), photosynthetic CO2 fixation (A, mmol m−2 s−1), instantaneous water-use efficiency (A/E) and the ratio of intercellular to atmospheric CO2 (Ci:Ca). Elevated [CO2] caused reductions in SI in the first year, and in SD in the first 2 years, when the canopy was largely open. In following
years, when the canopy had closed, elevated [CO2] had no detectable effects on stomatal numbers or index. In contrast, even after 5 years of exposure to elevated [CO2], g
s was reduced, A/E was stimulated, and Ci:Ca was reduced relative to ambient [CO2]. These outcomes from the long-term realistic field conditions of this forest FACE experiment suggest that stomatal numbers
(SD and SI) had no role in determining the improved instantaneous leaf-level efficiency of water use under elevated [CO2]. We propose that altered cuticular development during canopy closure may partially explain the changing response of stomata
to elevated [CO2], although the mechanism for this remains obscure. 相似文献

The response of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Akcent) to various photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFDs) and elevated [CO2] [700 μmol (CO2) mol−1; EC] was studied by gas exchange, chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence, and pigment analysis. In comparison with barley grown under ambient [CO2] [350 μmol (CO2) mol−1; AC] the EC acclimation resulted in a decrease in photosynthetic capacity, reduced stomatal conductance, and decreased total
Chl content. The extent of acclimation depression of photosynthesis, the most pronounced for the plants grown at 730 μmol
m−2 s−1 (PPFD730), may be related to the degree of sink-limitation. The increased non-radiative dissipation of absorbed photon energy for
all EC plants corresponded to the higher de-epoxidation state of xanthophylls only for PPFD730 barley. Further, a pronounced decrease in photosystem 2 (PS2) photochemical efficiency (given as FV/FM) for EC plants grown at 730 and 1 200 μmol m−2 s−1 in comparison with AC barley was related to the reduced epoxidation of antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin back to violaxanthin
in darkness. Thus the EC conditions sensitise the photosynthetic apparatus of high-irradiance acclimated barley plants (particularly
PPFD730) to the photoinactivation of PS2.

Submerged macrophytes are a major component of freshwater ecosystems, yet their net effect on water column phosphorus (P), algae, and bacterioplankton is not well understood. A 4-month mass-balance study during the summer quantified the net effect of a large (5.5 ha) undisturbed macrophyte bed on these water-column properties. The bed is located in a slow-flowing (0.05–0.1 cm s–1) channel between two lakes, allowing for the quantification of inputs and outputs. The P budget for the study period showed that, despite considerable short-term variation, the macrophyte bed was a negligible net sink for P (0.06 mg m–2 day–1, range from –0.76 to +0.79 mg m–2 day–1), demonstrating that loading and uptake processes in the weedbed roughly balance over the summer. Chlorophyll a was disproportionately retained relative to particulate organic carbon (POC), indicating that the algal component of the POC was preferentially trapped. However, the principal contribution of the weedbed to the open water was a consistent positive influence on bacterioplankton production over the summer. Conservative extrapolations based on measured August specific exports (m–2 day–1) of P and bacterial production exiting the weedbed applied to five regional lakes varying in lake morphometry and macrophyte cover suggest that even in the most macrophyte dominated of lakes (66% cover), P loading from submerged weedbeds never exceeds 1% day–1 of standing epilimnetic P levels, whereas subsidization of bacterioplankton production can reach upward of 20% day–1. The presence of submerged macrophytes therefore differentially modifies algae and bacteria in the water column, while modestly altering P dynamics over the summer. 相似文献

Chlorophyll (Chl) a was measured every 10 m from 0 to 150 min the Transition Domain (TD), located between 37 and 45°N,and from 160°E to 160°W, in May and June (Leg 1) andin June and July (Leg 2), 199396. Total Chl a standingstocks integrated from 0 to 150 m were mostly within the rangeof 20 and 50 mg m2. High standing stocks (>50 mg m2)were generally observed westof 180°, with the exceptionof the sporadic high values at the easternmost station. Thetotal Chl a standing stock tended to be higher in the westernTD (160°E172°30'E) than in the central (175°E175°W)and eastern (170°W160°W) TD on Leg 1, but thesame result was not observed on Leg 2. It was likely that largephytoplankton (210 and >10 µm fractions) contributedto the high total Chl a standing stock. We suggest that thehigh total Chl a standing stock on Leg 1, in late spring andearly summer, reflects the contribution of the spring bloomin the subarctic region of the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Thedistribution of total Chl a standing stock on Leg 2 was scarcelyaffected by the spring phytoplankton bloom, suggesting thattotal Chl a standing stock is basically nearly uniform in theTD in spring and summer. Moreover, year-to-year variation inthe total Chl a standing stock was observed in the western TDon Leg 1, suggesting that phytoplankton productivity and/orthe timing of the main period of the bloom exhibits interannualvariations. 相似文献

Abstract
Freshwater ecosystems derive organic carbon from both allochthonous and autochthonous sources. We studied the relative contributions
of different carbon sources to zooplankton in a small, polyhumic, steeply stratified lake, using six replicate surface-to-sediment
enclosures established during summer and autumn 2004. We added 13C-enriched bicarbonate to the epilimnion of half the enclosures for three weeks during each season and monitored carbon stable
isotope ratios of DIC, DOC, POC and Daphnia, along with physical, chemical and biological variables. During summer, 13C-enriched DIC (δ13C up to 44 ± 7.2‰) was soon taken up by phytoplankton (δ13C up to −5.1 ± 13.6‰) and was transmitted to Daphnia (δ13C up to −1.7 ± 7.2‰), demonstrating consumption of phytoplankton. In contrast, during autumn, 13C-enriched DIC (δ13C up to 56.3 ± 9.8‰) was not transmitted to Daphnia, whose δ13C became progressively lower (δ13C down to −45.6 ± 3.3‰) concomitant with decreasing methane concentration. Outputs from a model suggested phytoplankton contributed
64–84% of Daphnia diet during summer, whereas a calculated pelagic carbon mass balance indicated only 30–40% could have come from phytoplankton.
Although autumn primary production was negligible, zooplankton biomass persisted at the summer level. The model suggested
methanotrophic bacteria contributed 64–87% of Daphnia diet during autumn, although the calculated carbon mass balance indicated a contribution of 37–112%. Thus methanotrophic
bacteria could supply virtually all the carbon requirement of Daphnia during autumn in this lake. The strongly 13C-depleted Daphnia values, together with the outputs from the models and the calculated carbon mass balance showed that methanotrophic bacteria
can be a greater carbon source for Daphnia in lakes than previously suspected. 相似文献
