Benthic-planktonic coupling, regime shifts, and whole-lake primary production in shallow lakes.
Alternative stable states in shallow lakes are typically characterized by submerged macrophyte (clear-water state) or phytoplankton (turbid state) dominance. However, a clear-water state may occur in eutrophic lakes even when macrophytes are absent. To test whether sediment algae could cause a regime shift in the absence of macrophytes, we developed a model of benthic (periphyton) and planktoni...
متن کاملNote on the Planktonic Primary Production in Fanning Island Lagoon
A single series of representative observations indicates that both the productivity and standing crop of phytoplankton in Fanning Lagoon are much greater than reported in the lagoons of other Pacific atolls. Productivity, as measured by the radiocarbon method, averaged 9.29 mg C/m3/hr, while cWorophyll a averaged 0.548 j.!g/liter. Phytoplankton, principally dinoflagellates with some diatoms and...
متن کاملRecent primary production increases in arctic lakes
[1] A new application of reflectance spectroscopy enables inferences of lake sediment chlorophyll a concentrations and hence of historical trends in lacustrine primary production. In a survey of six arctic lakes on Baffin Island (Nunavut, Canada), pronounced increases of spectrally-inferred chlorophyll a concentrations are consistently expressed in sediments deposited during the 20th century. C...
متن کاملRecent changes in production in oligotrophic Uinta Mountain lakes, Utah, identified using paleolimnology
We use multiple proxies from lake sediment records of six remote alpine lakes in the Uinta Mountains, Utah, to investigate primary production and potential drivers of changes in trophic status over the last two centuries. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll a flux, and percentage of organic matter (determined by loss on ignition) increase beginning in the mid-20th century in five of the six alpine study...
متن کاملFood-web structure and planktonic predator–prey relationships in two eutrophic European lakes: Stability constraints on carbon fluxes
The food webs in two eutrophic European lakes were analyzed with respect to their stability characteristics. The food web during the summer in Lake Nesjøvatn (Norway) appeared to be stable; its response time to small perturbations was ,12 d. In Lake Kastoria (Greece), the summer food web was almost neutrally stable, with a response time of ,160 d. The major difference in the two systems was the...
