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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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
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
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 ...
