Limitations in nutrients and physicochemical parameters play a key role in aquatic ecosystems. The present study aimed to determine the influential physicochemical factors in the chlorophyll-a content for wetland management by identifying the restricting factors in primary production. Sampling was conducted during March 2017-February 2018. Factors such as water salinity, temperature, pH, nitrat...

Data on nutrient concentrations and environmental parameters, recorded in the waters of the entire Venice lagoon (165 sites) in July 2003 and in two stations monthly sampled for two years (from April 1994 to March 1995 and from January to December 2005), are reported in order to compare the trophic conditions with the past situation. In summer 2003 the dissolved inorganic nitrogen varied betwee...

Species experience landscapes differently depending on their needs and behaviors, and on their trophic level. We expect species at high trophic levels in a community to be more sensitive to habitat fragmentation than species at lower trophic levels. But this depends on attributes such as resource breadth, dispersiveness, reproductive rate, and longevity, which may not be related to trophic leve...

The deployment of animal-borne electronic tags is revolutionizing our understanding of how pelagic species respond to their environment by providing in situ oceanographic information such as temperature, salinity, and light measurements. These tags, deployed on pelagic animals, provide data that can be used to study the ecological context of their foraging behaviour and surrounding environment....

This study was conducted to investigate the status of water quality for fisheries and aquatic environment in Chalan Beel, largest wetland ecosystem Bangladesh. Water samples were collected from five sampling stations over period February 2020 January 2021 during pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon seasons, respectively. Surface controlling parameters such as temperature, transparency, pH, DO, TD...

In a food web, nutrients flow via trophic links. For this reason, trophic interactions have a fundamental character due to the principle of mass conservation. To further comply with this principle, we consider a food web model that includes nutrient cycling. Non-trophic effects amongst species of the food web are modelled as interaction modifications, i.e., a functional change in the trophic in...

We consider trophic networks, a kind of networks used in ecology to represent feeding interactions (what-eats-what) in an ecosystem. We observe that trophic networks can be naturally modelled as Petri nets and this suggests the possibility of exploiting Petri nets for the analysis and simulation of trophic networks. Some preliminary steps in this directions and some ideas for future development...

this research summarizes the data on benthic macro invertebrates collected from 25 points in the urmia lake wetlands during november 2008 to february 2009. the purpose of the study was to assess the effects of elevated salinity and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) levels on macro invertebrate abundance and composition. a total of 32 taxa were collected, and the common taxa, including chironom...

Phytoplankton groups are one of the major quality element to be used in evaluation trophic and ecological state freshwater ecosystems according EU Water Framework Directive. This research was made assess status Lake Bafa Turkey, on basis phytoplankton communities. Büyük Menderes River is most important factor that carries pollutants Bafa. The eight sampling station were assigned evaluate lake. ...
