The effects of reservoir aging on the phytoplankton community of amidwestern U.S. reservoir constructed in 1965 (Pawnee Reservoir) werestudied by comparing algal biovolume and species composition from April 1992through November 1992 to surveys conducted in 1968–73 and 1990. Meansummer total phosphorus, nitrate-nitrogen, Secchi disk depth, totalsuspended solids, chlorophyll a, and phytoplankton species composition datacharacterized Pawnee Reservoir during 1968–69 as a high nutrient,relatively clear water environment. Phytoplankton biomass was relativelylow, consisting mainly of cyanophytes and non-flagellated chlorophytes.During 1970–73, water clarity was poor, total suspended solids werehigh, and total phosphorus was lower, but was still greater than 100 µgl–1. The 1970–73 phytoplankton biomass was high and wasdominated by cyanophytes. Mean summer total phosphorus remained >100µg l–1, water clarity remained poor, but phytoplanktonbiomass decreased significantly during 1990–92. The dramatic drop inchlorophyll a and low mean volatile suspended solids indicated thatinorganic suspended sediments, rather than phytoplankton, accounted for themajority of the turbidity in 1990-92. In addition to lower phytoplanktonbiomass, community composition shifted away from buoyancy-regulatingcyanophytes toward flagellated chlorophytes. These data suggest that asreservoirs located in agricultural watersheds age, (1) inorganic suspendedsediments have a significant effect on the light environment as well asphytoplankton biomass and species composition, (2) the control ofphytoplankton biomass and species composition shifts away from nutrients tolight and suspended sediments, and (3) there is a 1–2 year lag in theresponse of phytoplankton biomass to maximum nutrient loading during thetrophic upsurge period. Thus, sedimentation has been shown to be a primarydeterminant of plankton and benthic macroinvertebrate community compositionas Pawnee Reservoir aged. 相似文献

Summary Rotifer species of the genusSynchaeta represent the dominating zooplankton organisms during early spring (BAKKERet al., 1977).Reproductive capacity of the rotifers (sensu EDMONDSON, 1965) was always significantly correlated with algal densities, cryptomonad flagellates being the main food. The slope of the curve representing the feeding relationSynchaeta-Cryptomonas was significantly steeper than forSynchaeta and the diatomSceletonema. Positive influences of increasing temperature forSynchaeta cf.vorax were only found within the range of 2–7°C. When temperature rose above 10°CS. vorax was succeeded byS.triophthalma. Negative temperatures, occurring in brackish lakes during periods of strong frost, caused a decrease of the egg ratio (numbers of eggs per animal) and of the population density.Development times ofS. vorax eggs were determined (VAN DAMet al., 1978) in order to calculate birth rates and production. Egg development time amounted to 3 days at 5°C and to 2 days at 10°C. Birth rates declined strongly when maximum population densities were reached. Mortality was approached by subtracting the actual rate of increase of population density from the birth rate. Sometimes negative mortalities were found, presumably caused by the development of resting eggs.Population dynamics of the rotifers were related to phytoplankton biomass and to primary productivity. Grazing effects of the rotifers on the algal population became evident during the final stage of the spring bloom (April). In the beginning (February–March) the mortality of the algal population could not be explained by grazing, other factors (cf. JASSBY and GOLDMAN, 1974) being responsible. 相似文献

Changes in the quantitative characteristics and functioning of phytoplankton in Lake Bol’shie Shvakshty have been assessed. The changes are evoked by the introduction of herbivorous fishes into the lake and the resulting disturbance of ecological balance in the ecosystem and the shift of the lake into a hypertrophic state from a weakly eutrophic state. Human interference has caused the cyanobacteria density (abundance) and biomass values in the overall phytoplankton composition to strongly exceed (3.5 × 109 cells/L and above 68 μg/L chlorophyll-а, respectively) the threshold value for safe recreational use of water bodies (20 million cells/L and 10 μg/L chlorophyll-а) established by the World Health Organization (WHO). The lake can be assigned to the third level of hazard to human health within the classification proposed by the WHO, as the cyanobacteria density is higher than 100 million cells/L and chlorophyll-а content is higher than 50 μg/L. MC-producing Microcystis species were identified among the cyanobacteria that has propagated in the lake in recent years, and five microcystin variants, including the highly toxic MC-LR, have been detected in the water. 相似文献

刺槐植物-土壤系统生态化学计量内稳性对水分和养分变异的响应特征
所有生物体都需要一定比例的元素来维持正常的生理代谢过程,它们的可塑性取决于它们利用外部资源的效率。阐明不同资源供应水平下植物、土壤和土壤微生物生物量生态化学计量特征之间的相互作用非常重要。本研究以一年生刺槐(Robinia pseudoacacia)幼苗为研究对象,测定不同水平水分、氮素和磷素处理下刺槐叶片、细根、土壤和微生物生物量C、N、P含量及其化学计量学指标。结果表明,刺槐叶片、细根、土壤和微生物生物量C、N、P含量及其化学计量特征会对其生存环境水分和养分条件的变化表现出一定程度的可塑性;方差分解分析结果表明,细根计量比解释了微生物生物量计量比方差的很大一部分;结构方程模型进一步揭示了细根计量比和叶片计量比是影响土壤微生物生物量C:N和C:P 的两个直接因素,而细根计量比具有较大的直接作用。此外,内稳性特征分析表明土壤微生物生物量C 和C:P对土壤养分变化较为敏感,其他指标均具有内稳性。这些结果明确了土壤微生物生物量化学计量的重要性,提高我们对不同生境水分和养分供应水平下植物-土壤系统养分循环机理的认识。 相似文献

Ogelube is a tropical oligotrophic lake having a desmid dominated phytoplankton with maximum density during the warmest season. During the rainy season, the lake cools, phytoplankton declines and dominance shifts to algae other than desmids. The lake cools further as harmattan advances, while phytoplankton reaches its minimum, suggesting water temperature to be more important than other environmental conditions. Decrease in phytoplankton density with falling water temperature was probably due to slower reproduction, rather than to increased death rate. 相似文献

Phytoplankton structure and dynamics in Lake Sanabria and Valparaíso reservoir (NW Spain) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The aim of this work is to compare the composition and seasonality of the phytoplankton population in a natural oligotrophic lake (Lake Sanabria) and a mesotrophic reservoir (Valparaíso). Both ecosystems are located on the Tera river course (NW Spain), which runs along an area of ancient metamorphic and plutonic rocks. Some physical and chemical parameters, chlorophyll a and phytoplankton biovolume were studied from monthly samples collected at different depths during the periods 1987–1989 (Lake Sanabria) and 1991–1992 (Valparaíso). Phytoplankton biovolume and chlorophyll a concentration were about five times higher in Valparaíso than in Lake Sanabria. Species composition (and main phytoplankton groups) were different. Valparaíso was highly dominated by diatoms and Lake Sanabria by cryptophytes and small chlorophytes. In spite of the fact that both sites were nitrogen limited, heterocystous cyanophytes (Anabaena sp.) were detected only in Valparaíso. The relationships between phytoplankton structure and trophic level, hydrological conditions and nitrate content are discussed. 相似文献

Phytoplankton biomass in Lake Xolotlán (Managua): Its seasonal and horizontal distribution 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Some well-documented studies on restoring eutrophic lake systems in The Netherlands by fish stock management have been evaluated with the emphasis on the role of macrophytes. Furthermore, the factors determining the light climate for submerged macrophytes in a large shallow eutrophic lake (Lake Veluwe) have been assessed and the potential success of biomanipulation in large scale projects is discussed. Today relatively little attention has been paid to macrophyte management although the importance of macrophytes in lake restoration has been recognized regularly. The biomanipulation strategy was successful in small scale projects. In a large scale project, however, wind-induced resuspension may largely determine the underwater light climate through attenuation by the water column and periphytic layer. Therefore, restoration of relatively large waterbodies by fish stock management only is expected not to lead to any noteworthy improvement of the light climate for submerged macrophytes. Additional measures aimed at reducing wind-induced resuspension of sediment particles and reestablishing of the macrophyte stands are required for successful biomanipulation strategies. Water quality managers should pay more attention to macrophyte stands in biomanipulation projects because macrophytes enhance a more stable and diverse ecosystem. Restoration objectives and the methods of their achievement must be carefully planned since an abundant submerged macrophyte vegetation may have undesirable effects as well. 相似文献

Primary production of aquatic macrophytes and their epiphytes in two shallow lakes (Peipsi and Võrtsjärv) in Estonia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In shallow lakes with large littoral zones, epiphytes and submerged macrophytes can make an important contribution to the total annual primary production. We investigated the primary production (PP) of phytoplankton, submerged macrophytes, and their epiphytes, from June to August 2005, in two large shallow lakes. The production of pelagic and littoral phytoplankton and of the dominant submerged macrophytes in the littoral zone (Potamogeton perfoliatus in Lake Peipsi and P. perfoliatus and Myriopyllum spicatum in Lake Võrtsjärv) and of their epiphytes was measured using a modified 14C method. The total PP of the submerged macrophyte area was similar in both lakes: 12.4 g C m?2 day?1 in Peipsi and 12.0 g C m?2 day?1 in Võrtsjärv. In Peipsi, 84.2% of this production was accounted for by macrophytes, while the shares of phytoplankton and epiphytes were low (15.6 and 0.16%, respectively). In Võrtsjärv, macrophytes contributed 58%, phytoplankton 41.9% and epiphytes 0.1% of the PP in the submerged macrophyte area. Epiphyte production in both lakes was very low in comparison with that of phytoplankton and macrophytes: 0.01, 5.04, and 6.97 g C m?2 day?1, respectively, in Võrtsjärv, and 0.02, 1.93, and 10.5 g C m?2 day?1, respectively, in Peipsi. The PP of the littoral area contributed 10% of the total summer PP of Lake Peipsi sensu stricto and 35.5% of the total summer PP of Lake Võrtsjärv. 相似文献

Modelling beef cows’ individual response to short nutrient restriction in different lactation stages
K.G. Orquera-Arguero D. Villalba M. Blanco J. Ferrer I. Casasús 《Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience》2022,16(9):100619
Short-term nutrient restrictions can occur naturally in extensive beef cattle production systems due to low feed quality or availability. The aims of the study were to (1) model the curves of milk yield, plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) contents of beef cows in response to short nutritional challenges throughout lactation; (2) identify clusters of cows with different response profiles; (3) quantify differences in cows’ response between the clusters and lactation stages. Data of BW, body condition score (BCS), milk yield, NEFA, and BHB plasma concentration from 31 adult beef cows (626 ± 48 kg at calving) were used to study the effect of 4-day feed restriction repeated over months 2, 3 and 4 of lactation. On each month, all cows received a single diet calculated to meet the requirements of the average cow: 100 % requirements for 4 days (d-4 to d-1, basal period), 55 % requirements on the next 4 days (d0 to d3, restriction period) and 100 % requirements for 4 days (d4 to d7, refeeding period). Natural cubic splines were used to model the response of milk yield, NEFA and BHB to restriction and refeeding in the 3 months. The new response variables [baseline value, peak value, days to peak and to regain baseline, and areas under the curve (AUC) during restriction and refeeding] were used to cluster cows according to their metabolic response (MR) into two groups: Low MR and High MR. The month of lactation affected all the traits, and basal values decreased as lactation advanced. Cows from both clusters had similar BW and BCS values, but those in the High MR cluster had higher basal milk yield, NEFA and BHB contents, and responded more intensely to restriction, with more marked peaks and AUCs. Reaction times were similar, and baseline values recovered during refeeding in both clusters. Our results suggest that the response was driven by cows’ milk potential rather than size or body reserves, and despite high-responding cattle’s higher milk yield, they were able to activate metabolic pathways to respond to and recover from the challenge. 相似文献

Phytoplankton–bacterioplankton interactions in a neotropical floodplain lake (Laguna Bufeos,Bolivia)
Laguna Bufeos is a floodplain lake of the river Ichilo, a tributary of the Amazon basin situated in Bolivia. Nutrient addition assays involving whole water (<200 μm) as well as fractionated water (<0.8 μm) treatments were carried out in incubation tubes to test whether bacterial growth is limited by the availability of inorganic nutrients and to test whether bacteria are able to utilize inorganic nutrients directly or are stimulated by inorganic nutrients through increased production of phytoplankton. The assays were carried out during two extreme hydrological conditions, the high-water and the low-water period. During the high-water period experiment, neither N or P limited bacterial growth rates. During the low-water period, bacterial growth was P limited. Bacterial growth was stimulated in the fractionated as well as in the whole water treatments, indicating that bacterial growth was directly stimulated by P. Bacterial growth corrected for grazing losses (determined by means of dilution experiments) was significantly higher in the fractionated water containing only bacteria when compared to the whole water containing also grazers and phytoplankton. This suggests that bacterial growth was suppressed by competition with phytoplankton rather than stimulated through the production of dissolved organic matter by phytoplankton. 相似文献

Long-term records (1969–1985) of zooplankton density in Lake Kinneret indicated significant reduction of biomass (Copepods, Cladocera, Rotifera) and production (Copepods, Cladocera). Nauplius and adult copepod densities decreased but those of copepodites did not change. Mesocyclops was suppressed more than the smaller Thermocyclops and males of both genera became more abundant relative to the larger females. Ratios of small/large Cladocera densities became higher. Numbers of total cladocerans were stable, and therefore reduction of Cladocera grazing capacity is assumed. The abundant Keratella spp. were reduced. It is likely that intensification of fish visual-attack-predation pressure shifted the size-class structure towards smaller adult copepods and cladocerans. Reduction of Keratella spp. and copepod nauplii was probably affected by increasing pressure of fish filter-feeders. Data on fish food consumption, feeding behaviour and fisheries management suggested their direct impact on long-term changes of zooplankton in Lake Kinneret. 相似文献

Acidification of ocean surface waters by anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is a currently developing scenario that warrants a broadening of research foci in the study of acid–base physiology.
Recent studies working with environmentally relevant CO2 levels, indicate that some echinoderms and molluscs reduce metabolic rates, soft tissue growth and calcification during hypercapnic
exposure. In contrast to all prior invertebrate species studied so far, growth trials with the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis found no indication of reduced growth or calcification performance during long-term exposure to 0.6 kPa CO2. It is hypothesized that the differing sensitivities to elevated seawater pCO2 could be explained by taxa specific differences in acid–base regulatory capacity. In this study, we examined the acid–base
regulatory ability of S. officinalis in vivo, using a specially modified cannulation technique as well as 31P NMR spectroscopy. During acute exposure to 0.6 kPa CO2, S. officinalis rapidly increased its blood [HCO3
−] to 10.4 mM through active ion-transport processes, and partially compensated the hypercapnia induced respiratory acidosis.
A minor decrease in intracellular pH (pHi) and stable intracellular phosphagen levels indicated efficient pHi regulation. We conclude that S. officinalis is not only an efficient acid–base regulator, but is also able to do so without disturbing metabolic equilibria in characteristic
tissues or compromising aerobic capacities. The cuttlefish did not exhibit acute intolerance to hypercapnia that has been
hypothesized for more active cephalopod species (squid). Even though blood pH (pHe) remained 0.18 pH units below control values,
arterial O2 saturation was not compromised in S. officinalis because of the comparatively lower pH sensitivity of oxygen binding to its blood pigment. This raises questions concerning
the potentially broad range of sensitivity to changes in acid–base status amongst invertebrates, as well as to the underlying
mechanistic origins. Further studies are needed to better characterize the connection between acid–base status and animal
fitness in various marine species. 相似文献

Seasonal abundances of phototrophic picoplankton (PP) and heterotrophic nanoflagellates in Lake Biwa were studied from 1994 to 1998. Seasonal variation in cell volume and biomass of the phototrophic picoplankton were also studied. PP were counted using disposable glass microscopic plates, which gave superior accuracy to sample filtration onto membrane filters. Phycoerythrin-rich rod-shaped cyanobacteria (PEC), one of the major components of the picoplankton community, were sparse (about 104 cells ml
–1) in winter and began to increase in April. Several PEC peaks were observed during the period of thermal stratification, and a rapid fall took place after October or November. In the northern basin, PEC peaked during late June and early July in 3 of the 5 years, and in late summer in the remaining years. Phycocyanin-rich rod-shaped cyanobacteria (PCC) were abundant in the southern basin and were present in smaller numbers in the eutrophic nearshore area of the northern basin; they peaked several times during the period from July to October. Seasonal variations of these two kinds of picoplankton were correlated with seasonal changes in water temperature. Phycoerythrin-rich cylinder-shaped cyanobacteria exhibited narrow peaks in July, their abundance declining as the year progressed. The density of heterotrophic nanoflagellates was greatest in early spring. Average cell volume of PEC was largest in winter, then decreased gradually to a minimum in late summer; after the fall, it recovered to the winter cell volume. This change can likely be attributed to the depletion of nitrogen in the warmer seasons. 相似文献

Green algae in Lake Tanganyika: is morphological variation a response to seasonal changes? 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
In the framework of a planktological and ecological study in Lake Tanganyika, East Africa (CLIMLAKE, 2001–2005), variations
of cell abundance and size were observed in a green alga, Eremosphaera tanganyikae, at two study sites, one in the north basin of the lake (off Kigoma, Tanzania) and the other in the south basin (off Mpulungu,
Zambia). Whereas most green algae developed better in the rainy season and in the northern part of the lake, Eremosphaera developed better in the southern basin, in the dry season. It also exhibited large variations in cell abundance and cell
size, with maxima in the middle of the dry season, which may be related to increased phosphorus availability. Moreover, increase
in cell size (up to 80 μm in length), without notable change in S/V ratio, may provide the alga with resistance to grazing by copepods, which reach maximal abundance during the dry season. 相似文献

An analysis of long-term changes in abundance of hibernating bats as revealed from the annual monitoring programme conducted
in four mountain regions of the Western Carpathians (Muránska planina Mts, Revúcka vrchovina Mts, Slovensky kras Mts, Štiavnické
vrchy Mts) during the period 1992–2009 is providing in the paper. Data from 52 hibernacula were analysed. Among 18 bat species
recorded, an apparent population increase of three most abundant thermophilous and originally cave dwelling species of bats,
Rhinolophus hipposideros, R. ferrumequinum, Myotis myotis, was observed. In other bat species (e.g., R. euryale, M. emarginatus, M. mystacinus, M. dasycneme, Barbastella barbastellus), population trends could not be detected and because of data scarcity, they should be evaluated from more extensive datasets
obtained from a wide range of hibernacula or from a completely different type of evidence. 相似文献

The performance of a liquid–solid circulating fluidized bed bioreactor (LSCFB) with anoxic and aerobic beds and lava rock as a biofilm carrier media was used to investigate the impact of the COD/N ratio on the process performance, with particular focus on total nitrogen removal. Three different COD/N ratios of 10:1, 6:1 and 4:1 were tested at an empty bed contact time of 0.82 h. More than 90% of the influent organic matter was removed throughout the study with 58% removal in the anoxic column in Phase III. Total nitrogen removal efficiencies in Phases I–III were 91%, 82% and 71% and simultaneous nitrification–denitrification (SND) occurred in the aerobic downer. The LSCFB demonstrated tertiary effluent quality at COD/N ratio of 10:1 and 6:1 with soluble biochemical oxygen demand (SBOD) <10 mg l?1 and total nitrogen (TN) <10 mg l?1. 相似文献

This study shows the results of monitoring thepollen present in the atmosphere of the city ofLugo for three years (1999–2001) using a Hirstvolumetric trap (model Lanzoni VPPS-2000). During the three-year study, 61,381 pollengrains were counted. Poaceae represents 39.5%of the total pollen identified, Pinus12.3%, Quercus 8.7% and Betula8.4%. More than half of the total annualpollen was recorded in June and July. Itscorrelation was positive with temperature,hours of sun and wind speed, and negative withrainfall and relative humidity. The maximumvalues were recorded between 11 am and 8 pm,coinciding with the highest temperatures andlowest relative humidity. 相似文献
