- Abstract:
- ... Phytoplankton community composition expresses estuarine functionality and its assessment can be improved by implementing novel quantitative fatty acid–based procedures. Fatty acids have similar potential to pigments for quantifying phytoplankton functional groups but have been far less applied. A recently created dataset containing vast information on fatty acids of phytoplankton taxonomic groups ...

- Abstract:
- ... Despite nearly annual blooms of the neurotoxic dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (Davis) G. Hansen and Moestrup in the Gulf of Mexico, defining the suite of biological traits that explain its proliferation has remained challenging. Studies have described K. brevis as a low-light-adapted species, incapable of sustaining growth under high light, which is at odds with observed surface aggregations someti ...

- Abstract:
- ... The ability to simulate algal systems is critical for watershed-scale models. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a modified algal module that simulates the dynamics of three major algal groups (cyanobacteria, green algae, and diatoms) in a stream using variables available in the Soil and Water Assessment Tool. The proposed module 1) models the dynamics of the three algal group ...

Understanding the relative impact sizes of environmental factors and nutrients on the high annual variation of phytoplankton abundance in eutrophic rivers is important for aquatic ecosystem management efforts. In this study, we used phytoplankton dynamic datasets in the eutrophic Fenhe River to show the variations and drivers of phytoplankton abundance under complex, fluctuating environmental cond ...

Phytoplankton time‐series enable the observation of recurrent seasonal patterns on community composition, but drastic shifts in community structure are rarely observed, unless linked to anthropogenic impacts (e.g. changes in nutrient inputs). Here, we report a unique case of non‐seasonal, multiannual regime shift of phytoplankton community structure in Lake Kivu, East Africa, and explore the possi ...

- Abstract:
- ... Seasonal variations in marine primary production (PP) in the coastal zone of the south-eastern part of the Baltic Sea were studied between April 2008 and April 2009. The spring PP maximum was observed to be limited by the concentration of nitrates. Following a decrease in photosynthetic consumption of nutrients, an increase in ammoniacal nitrogen due to the decomposition of organic matter and conc ...

Hydroelectric projects, including both storage and run‐of‐river (i.e., minimal storage) structures, on the mainstem CR highly manage water flow, often by releasing water over (rather than through) dams as “spill.” To test the effects of run‐of‐river dam spill on micr ...

Thermal lake properties are sensitive to changes in windiness and precipitation, and affect the physical and chemical properties of the water column, which in turn control phytoplankton dynamics and primary production.
