Transformation of Heavy Metals by periphyton [PDF]
The role of periphyton in the transformation of heavy metal pollutants has attracted extensive attention.This paper reviews the research progress of periphyton in heavy metal transformation, including its species and characteristics, transformation ...

Nutrient Limitation of Periphyton in a Spring-Fed, Coastal Stream in Florida, USA. [PDF]
There is strong evidence to suggest that ground-water nitrate concentrations have increased in recent years and further increases are expected along portions of the central Gulf coast of Florida. Much of the nitrate enriched groundwater is discharged

Epilithic biomass in a large gravel-bed river (the Garonne, France): a manifestation of eutrophication? [PDF]
In order to evaluate the impact of outputs of the city of Toulouse (740 000 inhabitants) on the epilithic communities colonizing pebble banks in the river Garonne, a large gravel-bed river (eighth order), dry mass (DM), ash-free dry mass (AFDM) and ...

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time
ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

Distribution of Periphyton in the Upstream Section of Citarum River, West Java, Indonesia
Periphyton indeed plays an undeniably vital role as primary producers in the food web within aquatic ecosystems such as rivers. The existence of periphyton will affect the populations of the aquatic organisms at higher trophic level, thus it is ...

Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River
ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

Stomach contents of Simulium perflavum Roubaud larvae were analyzed and compared with plankton and periphyton collected in five streams, in Central Amazonia (Manaus and Presidente Figueiredo counties), in Sep./Oct.1996 (dry season) and Feb./Mar.

Autogenic versus environmental control during development of river biofilm [PDF]
In the natural environment, microbial community structure of river biofilm is controlled by biotic and abiotic factors. This study explored the capacity to manipulate the structure of microbial communities by modifying environmental conditions during the

Network analysis of functional genes among prokaryotes, and eukaryotes in natural and artificial rivers. Abstract Periphyton in aquatic ecosystems plays vital roles in the elemental cycle process and is vulnerable to anthropogenic interference. However, few studies have explored the elemental cycles of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and ...

Carbonate sediment production in coastal wetlands: Periphyton contributions and diatom indicators
Coastal ecosystems rapidly transform as sea levels rise faster than ecosystems can build elevation through biological processes that accrete organic matter and inorganic sediment.
