A review of the population dynamics of coregonids in European alpine lakes
The population dynamics of coregonids in European alpine lakes have been studied intensively during recent decades. Many of these studies have focussed on the impacts of anthropogenic eutrophication and subsequent re-oligotrophication. These changes in productivity represent the single most important perturbation of coregonid habitats since the mid-twentieth century. While the problem of eutrop...
متن کاملPhosphorus decrease and climate variability: mediators of synchrony in phytoplankton changes among European peri-alpine lakes
1. In an attempt to discern long-term regional patterns in phytoplankton community composition we analysed data from five deep peri-alpine lake basins that have been included in long-term monitoring programmes since the beginning of the 1970s. Local management measures have led to synchronous declines in phosphorus concentrations by more than 50% in all four lakes. Their trophic state now range...
متن کاملA benthic index of biological integrity for assessing habitat quality in estuaries of the southeastern USA
A benthic index of biotic integrity was developed for use in estuaries of the southeastern USA (Cape Henry, VA; St. Lucie Inlet, FL) using a modi®cation of the method developed by Weisberg et al. (1997. An estuarine benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) for Chesapeake Bay. Estuaries, 20 (1), 149±158). Data from non-degraded stations sampled in 1993 and 1994 were analyzed using classi®cation...
متن کاملBenthic Macroinvertebrate/ Water Quality
The Ecology contribution to address this question is to determine possible physicochemical impacts on 1) pond water quality and biological integrity, and 2) avulsed pit pond water quality and biological integrity in the historical pit location and receiving waters. These questions will be addressed by all study partners together in a more comprehensive fashion after the interim phase of reporting.
متن کاملA proposed aquatic plant community biotic index for wisconsin lakes.
The Aquatic Macrophyte Community Index (AMCI) is a multipurpose tool developed to assess the biological quality of aquatic plant communities in lakes. It can be used to specifically analyze aquatic plant communities or as part of a multimetric system to assess overall lake quality for regulatory, planning, management, educational, or research purposes. The components of the index are maximum de...
