Increasing variability in lakewater dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in recent decades has raised uncertainty over temporal responses of phytoplankton communities to changing DOM. We conducted limnological surveys in four lakes with low (~ 2 mg l<sup>−1</sup>) to moderate (~ 4 mg l<sup>−1</sup>) DOC in Maine, USA, from February to November 2020 to assess variability in phytoplankton metrics and habitat gradients. Low-DOC lakes had similar thermal structure patterns compared to moderate-DOC lakes, but more stable euphotic depths. While moderate-DOC lakes had greater seasonal heterogeneity of biomass and vertical distribution of chlorophyll-a, the low-DOC lake had greater phytoplankton community turnover (Morisita-Horn Dissimilarity Index), underscored by a shift in dominance from autotrophs in the winter under ice to mixotrophs throughout the open water season. Long-term trends showed DOC concentrations generally increased for one decade beginning in 1995, followed by decreases in all four lakes for 12–15 years until 2020 by rates of 0.02–0.15 mg l<sup>−1</sup> year<sup>−1</sup>, during which time water clarity increased in one lake.

To address this issue, we measured the percentage of forest cover at 11 spatial scales across 12 streams. These scales were categorized into: “local riparian”, which includes circular buffers around the sampled sections, and “riparian network”, which consists of buffers surrounding the stream network upstream of the sampled sections. We developed linear models using species diversity, based on Hill numbers, and the percentage of forest cover at each scale. Additionally, we included the terrain slope and the dominant type of land use in the watershed (rural or urban) as covariates. The results indicated that the 100-m buffer of the local riparian scale was the most effective for assessing fish diversity. The percentage of forest cover in this buffer had a positive and significant relationship with the diversity metrics, though terrain slope significantly influenced this relationship. Therefore, we recommend that studies evaluating the influence of landscape on fish assemblages in streams adopt a multiscale approach to avoid missing the true impact of the landscape on the assemblages.</p>","PeriodicalId":13147,"journal":{"name":"Hydrobiologia","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142175764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite a growing body of the literature on MP effects, there is a gap in understanding prolonged PMF exposure (≥ 1 month) on stream periphyton across an extensive concentration gradient. This study addresses this gap by investigating the response of periphyton exposed to increasing PMF concentrations (0–22,000 PMF L<sup>−1</sup>) in stream mesocosms. As PMF concentrations increased, total periphyton biomass remained unaffected, while algal and bacterial biomass decreased and increased, respectively. Higher PMF concentrations also modified coarse algal community structure (measured as changes in chlorophyll <i>b</i>:<i>c</i>) and decreased light harvesting efficiency. Increased bacterial abundance was accompanied by elevated respiration, shifting the system from net autotrophy to net heterotrophy at 10,000–12,000 PMF L<sup>−1</sup>. Additionally, bacterial community composition was altered along with reductions in <i>β</i>-1,4-glucosidase activities. Despite reduced algal biomass, higher PMF concentrations appeared to support bacterial growth. Many periphyton attributes, including nutrient composition, phosphorus removal, gross primary production, and maximum electron transport rate of photosystem II, were unaffected.

Here, we use the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis methodology to provide a systematic review of FPV effects on aquatic organisms. Our search yielded 24 studies selected for qualitative analysis—most of which were performed in small-scale artificial ecosystems. We identified 39 variables across 12 artificial taxonomic groups. The most commonly reported effect was the reduction of chlorophyll-a in the water. Additionally, there is growing evidence that FPV has indirect effects on various groups of aquatic organisms. Enhancing current understanding of ecological consequences of FPV systems on aquatic biodiversity is urgent given the industry’s rapid expansion, and developing strategies for monitoring, controlling and predicting water quality impacts is necessary.
