This study aimed at unraveling the structure underlying taxon-richness matrix of shallow lakes. We assessed taxon richness a large variety food-web components different trophic levels (bacteria, ciliates, phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish, macro-invertebrates, and water plants) in 98 lakes from three European geographic regions: Denmark (DK), Belgium/The Netherlands (BNL), southern Spain (SP). Lakes were selected along four mutually independent gradients total phosphorus (TP), vegetation...
Recent anthropogenic climate change and the exponential increase over past few decades of Saharan dust deposition, containing ecologically important inputs phosphorus (P) calcium (Ca), are potentially affecting remote aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we examine changes in cladoceran assemblage composition chlorophyll-a concentrations ~150 years from high-resolution, well-dated sediment cores retrieved six high mountain lakes Sierra Nevada Mountains Southern Spain, a region affected by...
Abstract This study describes temperature and precipitation trends in the two National Parks located highest mountain ranges on Iberian Peninsula: Sierra Nevada (Sierra Park, SN) Pyrenees (Aigüestortes i Sant Maurici ASM). Special focus is placed analysing disparities between lowlands highlands, as well agreement observational data grid (IBERIA01 E‐OBS). For this purpose, a quality‐controlled homogeneity‐adjusted database of daily maximum temperature, minimum (SMADS database) has been...
This study presents a reconstruction of Holocene mean July air temperatures based on chironomid assemblages preserved in the sedimentary record Laguna de la Mosca (LdlMo), an alpine lake Sierra Nevada southern Spain. The LdlMo reveals that highest occurred during Early and early-Middle Holocene, between 8500 7000 cal yr BP, followed by significant cooling event. During Middle stabilized, but second major event at approximately 4200 possibly associated with 4.2 kyr Throughout Late generally...
In order to evaluate latitudinal differences in the relationship of phytoplankton biomass and diversity with environmental conditions shallow lakes, we sampled 98 lakes from three European regions: Denmark (DK), Belgium/The Netherlands (BNL) southern Spain (SP). Phytoplankton increased total phosphorus (TP) concentrations decreased submerged macrophyte cover across regions. Generic richness was significantly negatively related variables. Zooplankton:phytoplankton ratios were positively...
Abstract A total of 16 543 artificial ponds were inventoried. Ninety‐one per cent the classified as for farming use. Generally, fraction farm land converted to pond structures was close that predicted from average annual precipitation in region. However, several areas, this remarkably higher than value predicted, probably due excessive groundwater extraction. Overall, naturalisation stage poor. sited on natural substrate basins had more structured‐marginal vegetation, compared with basins....
The fundamental role of water for life and the threats to bodies around world have highlighted need their conservation. Remote sensing is a tool that allows us monitor in rapid, systematic, accurate economical way, being complementary traditional field sampling methods. main aim this review synthesise use Sentinel-2 satellite chlorophyll-a monitoring, an indicator trophic state aquatic ecosystems, assess each parameter on retrieval. To end, indices, models, atmospheric corrections details...
We examined seasonality, intensity, and level of epibiont infection by the green alga Korshikoviella gracilipes on zooplankton community over 2 yr in high mountain Rio Seco lake. Daphnia pulicaria was preferred substrate for epibiont, whose life cycle exclusively completed this taxon. The density dispersal stage prevalence burden crustacean were directly related to D. both years. Laboratory experiments showed that attached epibionts had a negative effect increasing weight sinking rates...
1. A year‐round study was conducted in a mesotrophic reservoir to determine the dynamics of zooplankton populations as function food availability (edible phytoplankton), nutrient concentration, temperature and hydraulic regime. 2. Rotifer biomass correlated with soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentration. The abundance rotifers Keratella cochlearis Anuraeopsis fissa were not (measured by chlorophyll cell counts) but showed strong dependence on P availability. Another rotifer, Synchaeta...
Abstract A novel methodology was used to evaluate the contribution of Saharan dust atmospheric deposition particulate material (PM), total phosphorus (TP), and nitrogen (TN) in southeastern Iberian Peninsula. Dry wet aerosol depositions were measured weekly during two 1 year periods at one site simultaneously spring‐summer same years other sites (intersite distance ~ 40 km). Statistical relationships among different permitted differentiation inputs from locally derived dust. PM TP...
ABSTRACT A new method for long‐term storage of algal cultures in the laboratory was tested. The procedure is based on cell immobilization technique. Cells filamentous cyanobacterium Pseudanabaena galeata Bocher were immobilized sodium‐alginate beads and stored 14–18 months. structure functional features organism maintained this state no ultrastructural biochemical, or growth rate differences detected between stock previously after period. We discuss advantages compared to other preservation...
Summary Ponds have significant conservation value due to their potentially high contribution local and regional diversity. However, most ponds are located in anthropogenically influenced areas, biodiversity is constantly threatened by human activities. Thus, knowledge of the effect pond management on essential for designing effective strategies. Here, we study main drivers diversity three functional groups primary producers (phytoplankton, filamentous green algae submerged macrophytes) 87...
