Methane, a potent greenhouse gas produced in freshwater ecosystems, can be used by methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and therefore subsidize the pelagic food web with energy carbon. Consortia of MOB photoautotrophs have been described aquatic ecosystems benefit from which produce oxygen, thereby enhancing CH4 oxidation. Methane oxidation account for accumulation inorganic carbon (i.e., CO2) release exometabolites that may both important factors influencing structure phytoplankton communities....
The aim of this study was to determine the tolerance metals (Zn, Cu) and drought male female Salix × fragilis L. under isolated combined treatments, assess metal uptake profiling metabolic plant responses. 14-day experiment performed in a hydroponic system, were applied at 1.5 mM Knop’s solution. Drought simulation achieved by adding sorbitol moderate level (200 mM). Isolated Zn treatment enhanced growth, more pronouncedly females. Equimolar Cu caused diverse reactions, females exhibited...
Cyanobacterial blooms are increasingly common during winters, especially when they mild. The goal of this study was to determine the summer and winter phytoplankton community structure, cyanotoxin presence, toxigenicity in a eutrophic lake susceptible cyanobacterial throughout year, using classical microscopy, an analysis toxic cyanometabolites, genes involved biosynthesis cyanotoxins. We also assessed whether diversity studied has changed compared what reported previous reports conducted...
Organism dispersal is nowadays highly driven by human vectors. This also refers to the aquatic organisms that can often silently spread in and invade new waters, especially when vectors of act without brakes. Thus, it mandatory continuously identify human-mediated mechanisms organism implement proper biosecurity treatments. In this study, we demonstrate how plankton net – one basic instruments equipment every sampling person a good vector for invasions. We whether keeping an ethanol solution...
When exploring the challenges of restoring degraded lakes, we often do not observe expected results despite executing all planned activities. Our study elucidates reasons that impede recovery submerged macrophytes ameliorated light conditions. prolonged lake degradation occurs, subsequent efforts to increase availability prove insufficient, resulting in a persistent turbid water state. In this study, attempted determine for these failures through germination test and propagule bank analysis...
The study aimed to evaluate the impact of iron (Fe) on physiological and behavioural reaction Chara tomentosa L. Fe was introduced into environment in form chloride, most common coagulants used restoration water bodies. investigations concerned oxidative stress comprising phenolic compounds content, antioxidant activity photosynthetic pigments concentration. Research conducted as a laboratory microcosm experiment with one-off application at level 26.8 mg dm-3. Coagulant caused short-term...
Iron (Fe) treatment is one of the most commonly used methods to restore eutrophic lakes and reservoirs. The Fe-based coagulants dosage results in an almost immediate improvement water quality at a relatively low cost. However, effects application are not always predictable, scale risks fully understood. changes chemical physical properties water, thereby affecting aquatic biocenoses. In this study, several laboratory experiments were conducted evaluate coagulant on two bivalves species:...
Abstract Accelerated lakes eutrophication is one of the greatest challenges nowadays. To counteract its negative effects, large-scale restoration treatments are carried out worldwide. However, research in this field mainly focused on process effectiveness and there a scarcity studies concerning impact water organisms ecosystem homeostatsis. Our microcosm study presents effects phosphorus coagulant (iron [III] chloride) functional traits changes, oxidative stress macro- microelement...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect drought on accumulation and tolerance energy willow (Salix viminalis L. var. ‘Gigantea’) copper (Cu) nickel (Ni) in context phytoremediation potential plant biomass production under adverse water conditions. Drought simulated with polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000. 5%), metals were added at a concentration 1 mM. Plants cultivated greenhouse conditions for 21 days according experimental variants: control, Cu, Ni, PEG, PEG + Cu Ni. results indicate...
Abstract Progressing eutrophication of waterbodies requires measures to be undertaken that aim at halting or reversing negative changes in the environment. Chemical restoration is one most common methods used for lake treatment, where iron aluminium phosphate coagulants are applied. However, their chemical qualities pose risk acidification and ion release, which become toxic acidic conditions. The influence on aquatic plants, including charophytes very valuable from ecological perspective,...
Iron sulphate and polyaluminum chloride are commonly used in water restoration to eliminate cyanobacteria bloom improve quality.Nevertheless, the influence of coagulants on organisms remains insufficiently studied.The study involves analysis phosphate coagulants' impact calcium magnesium concentrations Chara hispida community.The experiments were carried out field mesocosms.Both applied once three different doses: 50.0, 100.0, 200.0 cm 3 •m -3 .The application caused a decrease pH carbonate...

Artificial geothermal water systems are an efficient and low-cost alternative to natural ecosystems for phototrophic microorganism biomass production on industrial scale. Our study focused the investigation of mat-forming cyanobacteria produced in artificial pool with a source from hot spring Uniejów, Poland. The microorganisms inhabiting this ecosystem tolerate high salinity (approximately 50 ‰) temperature (45-55.2 °C) water. structure, composition, growth rates cyanobacterial mats were...
A new locality of Schoenoplectiella mucronata -an endangered and warm-temperature wetland species was found in Western Polesie (Eastern Poland).The station is situated far away to the north-east from all known Polish sites belongs easternmost one within European range species.The mesotrophic Lake Kleszczów which we have a population S. characterised by good ecological state as well high diversity aquatic plants dominated charophyte meadow.The studied occurred phytocoenosis similar not Poland...
Abstract Phally polymorphism in snails offers an excellent opportunity to study the evolutionary basis of sexual animals. occurs when two or three morphs co-occur populations hermaphroditic organisms. Euphallics have a fully developed and functional penis, hemiphallics reduced non-functional while aphallics no penis. All can self-fertilize, but only euphallics donate sperm during copulation. In this study, we investigated geographical pattern phally minute Vertigo species by testing from...
To fill the knowledge gap about functioning of lake-river system subjected to restoration treatments, two tributaries, a shallow, restored lake and its outflow, were examined. The quality water inflows, outflow was compared before (BR), during sustainable (SR, deep aeration, phosphorus inactivation biomanipulation for 3 years) limited (LR, only aeration 2 years). Physico-chemical parameters analysed monthly at five stations. nutrient concentrations inflows decreased over years due...
