Temperature effects on periphyton, epiphyton and epipelon under a nitrogen pulse in low-nutrient experimental freshwater lakes

open access: yesHydrobiologia, 2017
The ongoing global climate change involves not only increased temperatures but may also produce more frequent extreme events, such as severe rainfall that could trigger a pulse of nutrients to lakes.

Flow variability and macroinvertebrates jointly regulate stream periphyton and metabolism: Insights from experimental stream mesocosms

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Climate change profoundly alters riverine flow regimes and community composition, affecting key ecosystem functions. We used an experimental mesocosm approach to examine how gradual flow velocity reduction (Experiment 1) and flushing events (Experiment 2) influence periphyton community composition and metabolism, with and without a ...

Food web complexity alters phytoplankton persistence and resilience to nutrient pulses in experimental ecosystems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In aquatic ecosystems, greater food web complexity is theorized to increase persistence and resilience of primary production to pulse disturbances, yet experimental evidence is limited. We simulated two storm‐induced pulse disturbances by adding nutrients (~ 3%–5% increase in ambient concentrations) to three ponds with low, intermediate, and ...

Influence of underwater light climate on periphyton and phytoplankton communities in shallow lakes from the Pampa plain (Argentina) with contrasting steady states

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2013
Shallow lakes from the Pampa plain (Argentina) are subjected to the impact of different human activities, and as a consequence, most of them are in a turbid state.

Imbalanced C/N - controlled, periphyton-based system has hampered tilapia growth in stagnant experimental tanks

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Technology, 2014
The simultaneous use of periphyton and controlled C/N ratio of water may improve water quality and fish growth. The current assay investigated the interaction between periphyton and C/N ratio of water in rearing tanks with Niletilapia juveniles.

4. Periphyton community structure

open access: yesZoology and Ecology, 2014
The results of investigation of Lake Drūksiai periphyton community are presented. Periphyton community parameters, such as periphyton abundance on its dominant substrate (common reed Phragmites communis) and a ratio of mineral and organic components, were estimated.

Periphyton density is similar on native and non-native plant species

open access: yes, 2017
Non-native plants increasingly dominate the vegetation in aquatic ecosystems and thrive in eutrophic conditions. In eutrophic conditions, submerged plants risk being overgrown by epiphytic algae; however, if non-native plants are less susceptible to ...

Spatial variation of periphyton structural attributes on Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. in a tropical lotic ecosystem - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v35i3.17879

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2013
This study evaluated the influence of physical, chemical and physico-chemical variables of water on the biomass of periphyton community and verified the differences between six sampling sites over the course of São Mateus river: two upstream of the city

Relationship among carnivorous macrophyte Utricularia foliosa L. and species composition and life forms of periphytic algae community

open access: yesActa Limnologica Brasiliensia, 2018
Aim Present study evaluated the life forms and taxonomic structure of the periphytic algae community on Utricularia foliosa L. (modified leaf and stem) and artificial substrate during the four seasons in a tropical shallow reservoir.
