Changes of Periphyton Abundance and Biomass Driven by Factors Specific to Flooding Inflow in a River Inlet Area in Erhai Lake, China [PDF]
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Periphyton is an ecological essential in freshwater lakes and rivers. Its abundance and biomass are very dynamic in various habitats and subject to various factors, for example, nutrient and light.

Periphyton Function in Lake Ecosystems [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2002 Periphyton communities have received relatively little attention in lake ecosystems. However, evidence is increasing that they play a key role in primary productivity, nutrient cycling, and food web interactions. This review summarizes those findings and

The Correlation between Genotype Richness of Submerged Macrophytes and Periphyton Biomass: A Mesocosm Study Based on Five Dominant Submerged Macrophytes from Yangtze River [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Submerged macrophyte and periphyton are main primary producers which strongly interact with each other in clear water shallow lakes. In this study, the effects of genetic variation of the macrophyte species on periphyton biomass were studied in five ...

The Role of Local and Upstream Colonisation in Determining Stream Periphyton Metacommunity Assemblages [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionStream periphyton is an ideal study system for explaining how dispersal shapes community patterns. Few studies have tried to investigate periphyton metacommunities at the reach scale, and studies comparing local versus upstream periphyton propagule ...

The behavior of organic phosphorus under non-point source wastewater in the presence of phototrophic periphyton. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 To understand the role of ubiquitous phototrophic periphyton in aquatic ecosystem on the biogeochemical cycling of organic phosphorus, the conversion and removal kinetic characteristics of organic phosphorus (Porg) such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP ...

Phosphorus Availability Alters the Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Periphyton Growth and Stoichiometry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Exposure to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) may alter the structure and function of freshwater ecosystems. However, there remains a paucity of studies investigating the effects of AgNP exposure on freshwater communities in the natural environment where ...
