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

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.

The Role of Local and Upstream Colonisation in Determining Stream Periphyton Metacommunity Assemblages [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Stream 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 ...

A Systematic Review of Biofloc Technology and Periphyton in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) Aquaculture

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries
Biofloc technology (BFT) and periphyton‐based aquaculture emerged as sustainable strategies to enhance the production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), a globally important aquaculture species. The sector faces persistent challenges,

Use of Selected Periphyton Species to Improve the Water Quality and Shrimp Postlarval Production [PDF]

, 2006
In marine shrimp larval rearing practices, a large amount of water has to be exchanged frequently in order to maintain good water quality. This procedure contributes to the eutrophication of aquatic environment due to flushing of nutrient-enriched ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
