Abstract: The algal record from Lake Ringsjoen covers a period of more than 100 years. Towards the end of the 19th century, the lake had a well-functioning commercial fishery, when a brownish mess began to appear in the water, clogging-up the fishing nets and making fishing difficult. This was the first record of algal problems in the lake. Following complaints from the fishermen, the algal flora was investigated and the mess was stated to be a mass development of diatoms belonging to the genus Melosira (Aulacoseira). Diatom maxima then appeared regularly in spring and autumn, whereas blue-green algae only occurred occasionally and in low abundances. Between 1900 and 1950, nutrient concentrations slowly increased in the lake. Algal blooms of Anabaena lemmermannii and Gloeotrichia echinulata began to appear in summer. Between 1960 and 1980, the lake developed into a hypertrophic status with extensive blooms of blue-green algae from May to October, including high biomasses of mainly Microcystis spp. This severe pollution started with increased usage of the lake, increased tourism and recreation, intensified farming with the introduction of artificial fertilization, and also the diversion of sewage water from a sewage treatment plant. In 1968, cattle death was reported and in 1981, algal toxicity was verified by mouse bioassay. After a period of extremely poor water quality, the lake began to show signs of improvement as a result of the nutrient and fish reduction programmes. The very heavy blooms of blue-green algae decreased and the duration of blooms became shorter. The Microcystis species were to a certain extent replaced by Anabaena and Aphanizomenon species, and biodiversity of algae increased. With respect to the algal community, the lake has improved considerably, but is still eutrophic and suffers summer blooms of toxic blue-green algae.

remediation eutrophic lake water Finjasjon Sweden



Abstract: Lake Finjasjon is a shallow, eutrophic lake (area 1100 ha, mean depth 3 m, max. depth 13 m) in southern Sweden. In the 1920s, the lake was clear, with a summer Secci depth of ~2 m. During the first half of the 20th century, untreated sewage from the town polluted the lake. In the 1930s, the lake began to show eutrophic characteristics, and in the 1940s, the cyanobacterium Gloeotrichia echinulata dominated in summer. In 1949, the first municipal sewage treatment plant was built. The treatment was, however, insufficient, since the lake continued to be the recipient of the effluent with the result that the occurrence of cyanobacteria became more frequent. Species such as Microcystis and Anabaena caused skin rash and allergic symptoms among swimmers. The P load on Lake Finjasjon increased as the population of Hassleholm grew and reached a peak value of 65 tons annum-1 in 1965. In 1977, the sewage plant was rebuilt to include chem. flocculation, reducing the total external P load to ~5 tons annum-1. Despite this improvement the lake did not recover from its chronic and toxic cyanobacterial blooms. P-leaking black sediments were identified as the cause of the lake's failure to recover. Some 60% of lake-bed area is covered with sediments on av. 3 m thick. Dredging the sediments was started on a large scale in 1987. Five years later, 25% of the sediment area had been removed but the dredging was stopped since P continued to be released into the water from these areas. In 1992, a new restoration policy, a combination of further reduced external nutrient loading and food-web manipulation was initiated. A constructed wetland (30 ha) to reduce P and N was created in connection to the effluent from the sewage treatment plant. Protection zones along the feeder streams into Lake Finjasjon were also established. A cyprinid redn. program by trawling was carried out between 1992 and 1994. When it started, the fish community was composed of 90-95% bream and roach. After 2 yr of trawling, the ratio between piscivorous and planktivorous fish was 1:1. In 1994 and 1995, the transparency increased due to a considerably reduced biomass of phytoplankton and a radically altered phytoplankton community. The monoculture of Microcystis was replaced by a diverse phytoplankton community. The increased transparency made possible the development of submerged macrophytes such as Elodea, Myriophyllum and Potamogeton. The internal loading of P decreased dramatically in 1994 and 1995, possibly as a result of reduced sedimentation of phytoplankton. [on SciFinder (R)]

Title: Estimating Past Floristic Diversity in Montane Regions from Macrofossil Assemblages

Journal: Journal of Biogeography

Volume: 26

Issue: 1

Pages: 55-73

Date: Jan.

Keywords: Diversity, Macrofossils, Montane, Norway, Scotland, Holocene

Abstract: The relationship between the diversity of higher plant macrofossils in surface sediments of lakes and the surrounding vegetation is examined in two mountain regions; Grodalen in central Norway and the south-east Cairngorms in Scotland. Two lake sediment cores from each area were also analysed to examine vegetation history and to estimate changes in biodiversity through the Holocene. The diversity of present day vegetation in each region was estimated using both quadrat data and classified satellite images of the study areas. The mean surface sample macrofossil representation of species recorded in quadrats collected within 250 m of the lakes was c. 17%. This figure drops to only c. 2% when the satellite imagery of the same area is used to provide a maximal species list. The macrofossil data from the Norwegian cores show that deglaciation in this region occurred earlier on the mountain summit than in the valley and that the maximum tree line elevation was during the interval 9100-4400 $^{14}$C yr BP. In the Cairngorms the maximum tree line elevation was prior to c. 4500 $^{14}$C yr BP. The changes in higher plant diversity recorded at these sites through the Holocene show that c. 4000 $^{14}$C yr BP the reduction in the tree line resulted in decreased $\beta$-diversity at higher altitudes but an increase at the lower altitude as the forest cover opened up. Under conditions of climatic warming it is likely areas that come to lie below the tree line will experience reduced diversity and that a permanent loss of biodiversity would result from a severe reduction in the area above the tree line.

Title: Tansley Review No. 107 Heterocyst and Akiniete Differentiation in Cyanobacteria

Journal: New Phytologist

Volume: 144

Issue: 1

Pages: 3-33

Date: Oct.

Keywords: Cyanobacteria, Heterocyst, Akinete, Nitrogen Fixation, Differentiation

Abstract: Cyanobacteria are an ancient and morphologically diverse group of photosynthetic prokaryotes. They were the first organisms to evolve oxygenic photosynthesis, and so changed the Earth's atmosphere from anoxic to oxic. As a consequence, many nitrogen-fixing bacteria became confined to suitable anoxic environmental niches, because the enzyme nitrogenase is highly sensitive to oxygen. However, in the cyanobacteria a number of strategies evolved that protected nitrogenase from oxygen, including a temporal separation of oxygenic photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation and, in some filamentous strains, the differentiation of a specialized cell, the heterocyst, which provided a suitable microaerobic environment for the functioning of nitrogenase. The evolution of a spore-like cell, the akinete, almost certainly preceded that of the heterocyst and, indeed, the akinete may have been the ancestor of the heterocyst. Cyanobacteria have the capacity to differentiate several additional cell and filament types, but this review will concentrate on the heterocyst and the akinete, emphasizing the differentiation and spacing of these specialized cells.

Q1 01461 Plankton

Abstract: Sinking rates of the <120 mu m size phytoplankton fraction of water from Lake Erken were determined during the summer 1992 by following the increase of chlorophyll a in the 10 ml-bottom layer in replicate 100 ml settling cylinders. Changes in chlorophyll a concentrations as a function of incubation time allowed two fractions to be separated. Fast sinking rates varied between values of 1.9 m/day when pennate and centric diatoms and coccal cyanobacteria were dominant (in cell concentration) and values of 0.5 m/day when cryptophytes and chrysophytes dominated the <120 mu m size fraction. Slow sinking rates decreased from 0.04 m/day at the beginning of July to 0.02 m/day in late July. Photosynthesis-Irradiance parameters (P super(B)max, light saturated photosynthesis and alpha super(B), light limited photosynthesis) were lower in the fast sinking fraction (P super(B)max = 1.3-2.4 mu gC/ mu gChl /h and alpha super(B) = 0.01-0.04 mu gC/ mu gChl/h/( mu E/m super(2)/s) than in the slow or non-sinking one (P super(B)max = 3.9-6.4 mu gC/kgChl/h and alpha super(B) = 0.03-0.08 mu gC/ mu gChl/h/( mu E/m super(2)/s). P super(B)max and alpha super(B) of the planktonic Gloeotrichia echinulata, a colonial bloom-forming cyanobacterium, were similar to those found in the fast sinking fraction. Mean floating rates of G. echinulata were around 43 m/d from 15 to 27 July and increased by a factor of two afterwards. G. echinulata colonies migrating upwards from sediments and captured in inverted traps showed a mean floating rate of 104 m/d.

Title: Mechanisms for internal loading of phosphorus in lakes

Abstract: Lake sediments play an important role in the phosphorus metab. in lakes. The impact depends on the tendencies to retain and to release phosphorus.The internal loading will often det. the eutrophication status of the lake and the time lag for recovery after redn. of the external loading. Internal loading is most important during the summer. The potential source of phosphorus in the surficial sediments is very large in comparison to the pools in the water column. This means that even if only a very small amt. is released, it will have significant impact on the phosphorus concn. in the lake water. The distribution of phosphorus forms in sediments have been investigated since the 1950s. Generally, vertical profiles of sediment phosphorus content, expressed on dry wt. basis, show an increasing total content towards the sediment surface. The vertical profile continues up into the water when looking at the particulate matter. A no. of environmental factors are important in the mobilization processes. Most studies indicate that sediment bacteria have a significant role in uptake, storage and release of phosphorus including anaerobic release of iron-bound phosphorus. Several phytoplankton species have resting stages overwintering on the sediment. When growth is induced, they leave their habitat in order to shift their life-form to a pelagic one. In Lake Erken the cyanobacteria Gloeotrichia echinulata has been shown to contribute significantly to the internal loading of phosphorus during the summer. [on SciFinder (R)]

Q1 01461 Plankton



Abstract: During the decline of the pelagic population of Gloeotrichia echinulata in Lake Erken a substantial amount of akinete-containing colonies are driven into the shallow bays and up onto the shorelines. In order to evaluate the survival and potential significance of these akinetes as an inoculum for next years pelagic population, their capacity to survive a winter on dry ground was tested and the akinete-containing colonies in the sediments of a shallow bay were quantified. The concentration of akinetes was higher in these shallow areas than in the deeper parts of the lake; but the incomparably highest numbers per m super(2) were found more or less on the shoreline. The experiments showed that the akinetes were still able to germinate after six winter months on land. These studies indicate that the main part of the recruitment of new G. echinulata colonies could come from the littoral areas. Potentially this could also be true for other species, suggesting that it is important to include the littoral zone in further studies on seasonal migration.

Abstract: The aim was to couple microbial dynamics with measures of nutrient stress during the period of summer stratification (June through August, 1988) in the epilimnion in mesotrophic Lake Erken, Sweden. Two weekly measurements were made including bacterial abundance and prodn. (thymidine incorporation), chl a, primary prodn., nanoflagellate and ciliate abundances, alk. phosphatase activity (APA), phosphate turnover time, and the phosphorus deficiency index (PDI; rate of light satd. photosynthesis divided by the max. phosphate uptake velocity). The lake was characterized by 3 periods with different phytoplankton strategies for acquiring P. In early June when flagellates were >90% of phytoplankton biomass and ~67% of the flagellates were potential bacteriovores, flagellate grazing roughly match bacterial mortality, and ~50% of the flagellate P needs were potentially met by ingesting bacteria. During July, when bacterial prodn. was greatest, bacterial abundance remained const. at ~1 * 109/L. At this time potential flagellate bacteriovory constituted >25% of bacterial mortality. Densities of the small cladocerans, Diphanosoma brachyrum, and Daphnia cucullata, reached >100/L in late July and were likely the dominant bacterivores. The PDI increased from indicating severe P deficiency in June to moderate P deficiency in July. By August, the phytoplankton community was ~50% composed of the 2 N2-fixing cynobacteria, Anabaena sp. and Gloeotrichia echinulata. These cyanobacteria have internal P stores, and the PDI showed low P deficiency with the dominance of cyanobacteria, heterotrophic bacterial prodn. decreased by an order of magnitude, but the exact cause for the decline was not evident. During late July, ~20% of the bacteria were in \"aggregate\" that were a refuge from grazing. The large bacteria in the aggregates were probably a \"sink\" for nutrients conomita with the rapid turnover of the free planktonic bacteria. Thus bacteria as do algae have growth forms that escape grazing. [on SciFinder (R)]
