چکیده
ABSTRACT The study on the Physico-Chemical characteristics and Phytoplanktons of Lake Gbedikere was carried out between June and December, 2008. The study showed notable seasonal variation in the component investigated. Temperature seemed a major determinant of the composition, abundance and seasonal variation of encountered lake biota. During the study four (4) taxa of Phytoplankton existed in the lake as at the time of the study viz: Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, Cryptophyta and Euglenophyta. A total of 1,302 Phytoplanktons were counted with Chlorophyta having the highest percentage dominance of (77.74%), Bacillariophyta (18.81%), Cryptophyta and Euglenophyta (3%) each respectively. The status of the lake could said to be eutrophic as indicated by the diversity of planktons.

متن کاملCombatting cyanobacteria with hydrogen peroxide: a laboratory study on the consequences for phytoplankton community and diversity
Experiments with different phytoplankton densities in lake samples showed that a high biomass increases the rate of hydrogen peroxide (HP) degradation and decreases the effectiveness of HP in the selective suppression of dominant cyanobacteria. However, selective application of HP requires usage of low doses only, accordingly this defines the limits for use in lake mitigation. To acquire insigh...

متن کاملPhytoplankton Diversity Effects on Community Biomass and Stability along Nutrient Gradients in a Eutrophic Lake
The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is a central issue in ecology, but how this relationship is affected by nutrient stress is still unknown. In this study, we analyzed the phytoplankton diversity effects on community biomass and stability along nutrient gradients in an artificial eutrophic lake. Four nutrient gradients, varying from slightly eutrophic to highly eutr...
