Periphyton Function in Lake Ecosystems [PDF]
Scientific World Journal, The, 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 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 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 ...

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 ...

Phosphorus and metals immobilization by periphyton in a shallow eutrophic reservoir
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2021 : Aim: This study evaluated and compared the changes in the Total Phosphorus (TP) and metals (Cd, Cu, Ni and Pb) contents and accumulation rates in the periphyton on different substrate types (PET and glass) in wet and dry periods in a shallow eutrophic

Denitrification Associated with Periphyton Communities [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1981 Scrapings of decomposing Cladophora sp. mats (periphyton) covering stream bed rocks produced N 2 O when incubated under N 2 plus 15% C 2 H 2 . Denitrification (N 2 O formation) was enhanced by NO
