Basin-Scale Control on the Phytoplankton Biomass in Lake Victoria, Africa
The relative bio-optical variability within Lake Victoria was analyzed through the spatio-temporal decomposition of a 1997-2004 dataset of remotely-sensed reflectance ratios in the visible spectral range. Results show a regular seasonal pattern with a phase shift (around 2 months) between the south and north parts of the lake. Interannual trends suggested a teleconnection between the lake dynam...
متن کاملMonitoring basin-scale land cover changes in Kagera Basin of Lake Victoria using ancillary data and remote sensing
The Kagera basin is a high value ecosystem in the Lake Victoria watershed because of the hydrological and food services it provides. The basin has faced large scale human induced land use and land cover changes (LUCC), but quantitative data is to date lacking. A combination of ancillary data and satellite imagery were interpreted to construct LUCC dynamics for the last century. This study is an...
متن کاملClimatic, socio-economic, and health factors affecting human vulnerability to cholera in the Lake Victoria basin, East Africa.
Cholera epidemics have a recorded history in the eastern Africa region dating to 1836. Cholera is now endemic in the Lake Victoria basin, a region with one of the poorest and fastest growing populations in the world. Analyses of precipitation, temperatures, and hydrological characteristics of selected stations in the Lake Victoria basin show that cholera epidemics are closely associated with El...
متن کاملRelationship between nutrients and phytoplankton biomass based on chlorophyll prediction model in Zribar Lake of Kurdestan, a case study
Zaribar Lake is a little shallow lake in Kurdistan province of Iran and it is faced to eutrophication.The study of phytoplankton biomass-nutrient relations is important in eutrophication management and there are many empirical models to predict phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) based on nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorous) amounts in the lake. Evaluation of these empirical models and compar...
متن کاملThe Impact of Zooplankton Grazing on Phytoplankton Species Composition and Biomass in Lake Champlain (USA-Canada)
Rates of grazing on phytoplankton by macrozooplankton (cladocerans and copepods > 220 μm in length) and microzooplankton (animals < 220 μm, mostly rotifers and nauplii) were determined for Lake Champlain on three occasions using a modified version of the Lehman-Sandgren method. Gradients in grazer density were created in fertilized cubitainers incubated in situ, and clearance rates on specific ...
