Book Phytoplankton Dynamics in the North American Great Lakes

Download or read book Phytoplankton Dynamics in the North American Great Lakes written by M. Munawar and published by Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Mgmt Soc. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation provides systematic and detailed insight into the functioning of the pelagic communities of the Great Lakes. It is not simply about carbons or phosphorus interacting with packets of chlorophyll but rather about the complex processes and dynamic consequences of these unique inland lakes. Volume 1 focuses on the Lower Great Lakes, Lakes Ontario and Erie, while volume 2 highlights Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior, including a synthesis chapter for both the volumes.

Book Phytoplankton in Turbid Environments Rivers and Shallow Lakes

Download or read book Phytoplankton in Turbid Environments Rivers and Shallow Lakes written by J.-P. Descy and published by Springer. This book was released on 1994-09-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ecology of potamoplankton has received less attention than lake plankton. These proceedings produce a synthesis of the composition, community structure and dynamics of lotic phytoplankton, which are intuitively submitted to a strong physical control in the flowing environment, perceived as much more `disturbed' than a lake, even than a well-mixed shallow one. It turns out that the boundary between the phytoplankton of rivers and lakes is not as clear-cut as was thought. In particular, most contributions provide arguments emphasizing the prominent role of physical control in both aquatic systems, especially due to the steep light gradient resulting from turbulent mixing in a turbid water column. Similarities and differences between potamoplankton and limnoplankton, largely based on the information gathered by the contributors are discussed in the introductory paper by Reynolds et al.

Book Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Phytoplankton Assemblages in Selected Reaches of the Upper River Mississippi River

Download or read book Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Phytoplankton Assemblages in Selected Reaches of the Upper River Mississippi River written by John T. Manier and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phytoplankton are a critical component of large river food webs and they provide large quantities of organic carbon and biomolecules that sustain large river ecosystems. Relatively few studies have examined large-scale patterns in phytoplankton community composition in the Upper Mississippi River (UMR). The purpose of this study was to examine the spatial and temporal dynamics of phytoplankton community composition across diverse aquatic areas of the UMR, and to investigate factors affecting phytoplankton community composition and, in particular, the abundance of blue-green algae. Data included in this study were derived from phytoplankton and water quality samples collected during the summer months of 2006-2009 from the main channel, backwater, and impounded areas of navigation pools 8 and 13, and from the main channel of pool 26. Forty-seven genera of phytoplankton were identified in the samples analyzed. The three most abundant genera included Aulacoseira, Aphanizomenon, and Microcystis. Phytoplankton community composition differed among aquatic areas and pools. The main channel and backwaters were dominated by a mixture of cyanobacteria and diatoms, however the main channel also displayed large abundances of green algae, while the backwaters were typified by flagellated species (i.e., cryptomonads and euglenoids). The impounded areas were similar to the backwaters, but exhibited a greater proportion of cyanobacteria. With respect to longitudinal changes in phytoplankton community composition, the main channels of P8 and P13 could be dominated by either cyanobacteria or diatoms (depending on conditions), while P26 was always dominated by diatoms. Phytoplankton community composition was strongly influenced by discharge. In navigation pools 8, 13, and 26, taxonomic richness tended to increase with increasing discharge (possibly reflecting recruitment from off-channel areas and scouring of the periphyton). Moreover, the main channel communities of pools 8, 13, and 26 became more similar during high discharge years. Surprisingly, cyanobacteria were dominant in the main channel of P8 and P13 during the highest discharge year (2008). This pattern was unexpected, yet pronounced. This may be due to a variety of factors, including greater availability of a limiting nutrient that we did not analyze (i.e. iron) or recruitment from off-channel areas. The major finding of this study was the prominence of cyanobacteria in the UMR. Cyanobacteria were present in 204 of 224 samples (96%). In addition, 1 in every 10 of my samples could be classified as having a moderate to severe cyanobacteria bloom (Kasich et al. 2013). There were no linear correlations between cyanobacteria total or proportional biovolume and selected covariates (including nitrogen and phosphorus). Instead, most cyanobacteria communities clustered around moderate nutrient concentrations, indicating that nutrient limitation was not a major driver of the patterns in cyanobacterial abundance. Phytoplankton communities were more likely controlled by physical factors, such as discharge, turbidity and residence time.
