the phytoplankton structure and dynamics were analysed in relation to abiotic variables inpaso de las piedras reservoir, argentina. phytoplankton driving forces were explored using a functionalapproach. a total of 15 functional groups were identified among which d, p, h1, f, j and c were the mostimportant. a canonical variate analysis indicated that the categorization of the species in function...

under the contemporary scenario of global climate change and increasing coastal eutrophication, baseline studies of phytoplankton diversity and distribution in relation to habitat conditions constitute the first approach to evaluate potential shifts at the base of the food webs. here we present data of phytoplankton species composition and environmental variables in winter 2006 in a temperate e...

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...

the present study reports the changes in the phytoplankton community structure in taklong island national marine reserve (tinmar), guimaras island, philippines. quantification of pah yielded undetectable results, whereas, primary productivity, phytoplankton density, and diversity values were higher as compared to samples before the oil spill and samples from the reference site. sixty-nine gener...

Phytoplankton taxa composition of the Caspian Sea were evaluated by using samples collected at 12 stations along the Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea between 1996 and 2010. This study identified 158 phytoplankton species consisted of diatoms (70 species), dinoflagellates (23 species), chlorophytes (29 species), cyanophytes (31 species), and euglenoids (5 species). The dominant species were the...

In this study frequency and composition of plankton in Shadegan wetland was carried out in 5 stations during 2007-2008. Genus qualitative identification and their composition and quantitative frequency aspect were studied (for phytoplankton chlorophyll a). Frequency of total 42 genus phytoplankton in 4 classes Bacilariophyceae (Diatom), Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Dinophyceae are 69.4, 22.2...
