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

Evaluating the periphyton as a bioreactor for removal of nutrients in a shallow hypereutrophic reservoir

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2021
: Aim We evaluated the periphyton on artificial substrate in the treated sewage effluent, effluent patch, inside and after the macrophyte stand in a shallow hypereutrophic reservoir.

Changes of Periphyton Abundance and Biomass Driven by Factors Specific to Flooding Inflow in a River Inlet Area in Erhai Lake, China

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.

Influence of Microplastics on Microbial Structure, Function, and Mechanical Properties of Stream Periphyton

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Periphyton is a freshwater biofilm composed of prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities that occupy rocks and sediments, forming the base of the food web and playing a key role in nutrient cycling.

Warming Effects on Periphyton Community and Abundance in Different Seasons Are Influenced by Nutrient State and Plant Type: A Shallow Lake Mesocosm Study

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Periphyton plays an important role in lake ecosystems processes, especially at low and intermediate nutrient levels where periphyton contribution to primary production can be similar to or exceed that of phytoplankton.

The Correlation between Genotype Richness of Submerged Macrophytes and Periphyton Biomass: A Mesocosm Study Based on Five Dominant Submerged Macrophytes from Yangtze River

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

The behavior of organic phosphorus under non-point source wastewater in the presence of phototrophic periphyton.

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 ...

The response of bacterial community to UVB was significantly different between immature periphyton and mature periphyton, but not for physiological indicators

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Periphyton has important ecological functions. It can even exist in environments with strong ultraviolet radiation. However, knowledge of periphyton under ultraviolet is limited, which limits the understanding and application of periphyton in ...
