Tropical freshwater ecosystems have lower bacterial growth efficiency than temperate ones
Current models and observations indicate that bacterial respiration should increase and growth efficiency (BGE) should decrease with increasing temperatures. However, these models and observations are mostly derived from data collected in temperate regions, and the tropics are under-represented. The aim of this work was to compare bacterial metabolism, namely bacterial production (BP) and respi...
متن کاملImplications of differences between temperate and tropical freshwater ecosystems for the ecological risk assessment of pesticides.
Despite considerable increased pesticide use over the past decades, little research has been done into their fate and effects in surface waters in tropical regions. In the present review, possible differences in response between temperate and tropical freshwaters to pesticide stress are discussed. Three underlying mechanisms for these differences are distinguished: (1) climate related parameter...
متن کاملBacterial Growth Efficiency in a Tropical Estuary: Seasonal Variability Subsidized
Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is a key factor in understanding bacterial influence on carbon flow in aquatic ecosystems. We report intra annual variability in BGE, and bacteria mediated carbon flow in the tropical Mandovi and Zuari estuaries (southwest India) and the adjoining coastal waters (Arabian Sea). BGE ranged from 3 to 61% and showed clear temporal variability with significantly (AN...
متن کاملCharacterizing forest fragments in boreal, temperate, and tropical ecosystems.
An increased ability to analyze landscapes in a spatial manner through the use of remote sensing leads to improved capabilities for quantifying human-induced forest fragmentation. Developments of spatially explicit methods in landscape analyses are emerging. In this paper, the image delineation software program eCognition and the spatial pattern analysis program FRAGSTATS were used to quantify ...
