Phytoplankton Community Indicators of Short- and Long- term Ecological Change in the Anthropogenically and Climatically Impacted Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina, USA
Estuarine and coastal systems represent a challenge when it comes to determining the causes of ecological change because human and natural perturbations often interact. Phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) and group-specific photopigment indicators were examined from 1994 to 2007 to assess community responses to nutrient and climatic perturbations in the Neuse River Estuary, NC. This system ex...
متن کاملEffects of short-term sediment nutrient enrichment and grazer (Neritina Reclivata) removal on sediment microalgae in a shallow eutrophic estuary (Alabama, USA).
The olive snail (Neritina reclivata) is ubiquitous in tropical and sub-tropical systems of the Gulf of Mexico, however its impacts on sediment microalgae have been little studied. Many coastal systems around the world are being eutrophied due to human activities, and seemingly they will continue to be eutrophied to a further extent in the future. Exploring the single and combined impacts of fur...
متن کاملPhytoplankton distribution and productivity in a highly turbid, tropical coastal system (Bach Dang Estuary, Vietnam).
Phytoplankton diversity, primary and bacterial production, nutrients and metallic contaminants were measured during the wet season (July) and dry season (March) in the Bach Dang Estuary, a sub-estuary of the Red River system, Northern Vietnam. Using canonical correspondence analysis we show that phytoplankton community structure is potentially influenced by both organometallic species (Hg and S...
متن کاملSeasonal variability of size-classes of phytoplankton biomass in a sub-tropical embayment, Muscat, Sea of Oman
The contribution of three different cell size classes of picoplankton: 0.74-2 μm, nanoplankton:2–20 μm and microplankton, >20 μm of the phytoplankton population and their relationship to environmental conditions were studied over two annual cycles at one station in Bandar Khyran Bay, Sea of Oman, from May 2006 to August 2008. Nanoplankton was the most important class contributing 54.4% to tot...
متن کاملPhytoplankton response to nutrient enrichment in an urbanized estuary: Apparent inhibition of primary production by overeutrophication
Phytoplankton response to nutrients was examined with a 26-yr database from the Delaware Estuary. Biomassnormalized primary production did not increase linearly with increasing nutrient concentrations and instead showed saturation at comparatively low nutrient concentrations and decreased at high concentrations. To separate the effects of light availability and temperature on primary production...
