In the present work, the microhabitat preference of the aquatic macroinvertebrate community was studied and its trophic guilds was described through the analysis of stomach contents in two high Andean rivers of Peru. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between abundance, richness, Pielou equity index and effective number of species between the microhabitats studied in both rivers. The highest values of wealth in both rivers were found in the medium stone microhabitat, being the most abundant and diverse the members of the Diptera order. The lowest values of richness were found in the rock microhabitat. Four food items were identified: fine particulate organic matter (MOPF), microalgae (MA), animal remains (RA) and vegetable tissue (TV), of which MOPF was the predominant one in almost all the organisms analyzed, which shows that MOPF is the main food item consumed in both rivers. Spatially, it was the detritivores and herbivores that were in great proportion in almost all the microhabitats in both high Andean rivers.","PeriodicalId":49906,"journal":{"name":"Limnetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43987043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To partly overcome this gap, this study evaluated the effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide, Roundup® (three nominal concentrations: 0.28 mg/L [Treatment T0.28]; 3.5 mg/L [T3.5]; and 6 mg/L [T6]), and its main degradation product, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) (0.03 mg/L [T0.03]), on the photosynthetic responses of an aquatic macrophyte species, Egeria densa Planch. The net photosynthetic rate (NPR) and dark respiration rate (DRR) were evaluated by the dissolved oxygen evolution method, while some PSII performance parameters were measured by a Chl-a fluorescence-based method. Additionally, the chlorophyll a content was measured. The experimental data showed that E. densa had significant losses in photosynthetic efficiency under Roundup® and AMPA exposure, with reductions in the NPR (reduction of -61 % for T3.5; –90 % for T6; and –161 % for T0.03, compared to control) and chlorophyll a content (–82 % for T0.28, –79 % for T3.5, –82 % for T6, and –28 % for T0.03) and increases in the DRR (+150 % for T3.5, +130 % for T6, and +271 % for T0.03). The results from the Chla fluorescence measurements registered statistically significant differences between the Roundup® treatments and the control group for the effective quantum yield (+56 % for T0.28, +43 % for T3.5, and +56 % for T6) and for non-photochemical extinction (+67% for T0.28, +73 % for T3.5, and +59 % for T6). Taken together, the findings of the experiments with E. densa indicate that the negative effects from the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup® on primary producers might be common and widespread in tropical and subtropical aquatic environments in Brazil.","PeriodicalId":49906,"journal":{"name":"Limnetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48654258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, it is relevant to reinforce research focusing on the emission of CO2 and CH4 in Mediterranean reservoirs. Here, we simultaneously measured CO2 fluxes and CH4 ebullitive and diffusive emissions in the riverine and lacustrine zones of a Mediterranean reservoir (El Gergal, Spain) throughout a complete year to quantify their magnitude, explore their spatial and temporal variability, and investigate the potential limnological and hydrological factors influencing gases emissions. Our results show that during the study year El Gergal riverine zone was a CO2 sink, while the lacustrine zone was a CO2 source. In addition, both areas were CH4 sources to the atmosphere. CO2 and CH4 fluxes in El Gergal showed a marked temporal variability, with significant differences between mixing and thermally stratified periods.

Three hydraulic microhabitats, the stoss, trough and crest areas were sampled, along with measurements of water hydraulics, hydrology, sediment grain-size, and organic content. The results showed that the slope angles between stoss-crest and crest-trough areas are crucial in modulating local flows, sediment structure, organic content, macroinvertebrate communities, and taxonomic richness and density. As such, the stoss microhabitats are considered zones with the highest turbulence, hence driving low taxonomic richness and density compared to crest and trough microhabitats. When local environmental conditions in trough microhabitats allow the accretion of fine and organically enriched sediments, the development of maximum density for certain macroinvertebrates groups is reached. However, the benthic assemblages did not show clear preferences for certain microhabitats, suggesting ubiquitous ecologic traits, crucial for the successful colonisation of dynamic habitats, such as the submerged dunes in large rivers. The results of this study offer a better understanding on the abiotic factors driving the spatial preferences, density, and diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates in these understudied hydrogeomorphological units from large rivers.","PeriodicalId":49906,"journal":{"name":"Limnetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47420731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, pelagic calcite precipitation has received limited attention in lakes. Here we use the relationship between lake water alkalinity and reported calcification rates to provide the first global estimate of pelagic calcification in lakes. Global gross calcification rates amount to 0.03 Pg C yr-1 (0.01 – 0.07) comparable to rates of organic carbon burial, whereas its related CO2 release is largely buffered by the carbonate equilibria. Calcification occurs at water alkalinity above 1 meq/L corresponding to 57 % of global lake and reservoir surface area. Pelagic calcification therefore is a prevalent process in lakes and reservoirs at the global scale, with a potentially relevant role as a sedimentary inorganic carbon sink, comparable in magnitude to the total calcite accumulation rates in ocean sediments.","PeriodicalId":49906,"journal":{"name":"Limnetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48110874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the summer of 2018, we compared the macroinvertebrate communities of four streams fed by retreating glaciers and of one pro-glacial pond in the Italian Alps. The general aim was to determine if habitats fed by glaciers with different surface areas host different communities along a longitudinal gradient and to identify which environmental variables can predict these differences. Eight sampling sites were selected with different glacial influences given by the Glacial Index (GI, range 0-1). This index takes into consideration the distance from the snout and glacier surface area. Five were classified as kryal, fed mainly by ice melt and lay within 1 km of the snout; two as glacio-rhithral, with mixed contributions and > 1 km from the snout; and one as a pro-glacial pond, which lays within 50 m from the snout and was fed by ice melt. Chironomids were the most frequent (100 %) and abundant taxa (80 %), followed by EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera) which represented 9 % of total abundance. All kryal sites (MA1, CR0, CR1, AG1) were dominated by chironomids (> 98 %), except for C0, which hosts a community resembling that of glacio-rhithral sites (C2, CR2), which are more diversified and have approximately 60 % of their communities composed of chironomids. While C0 is fed mainly by ice-melt, its GI was lower (0.3) than that of the other kryal sites (0.5-1.0) because of the small size of the feeding glacier (0.14 ha). These results emphasise that the glacier surface area affects the benthic fauna and that the GI should be considered when classifying different types of sites. GI was also selected as one of the best predictors of faunal changes by distance-based redundancy analysis (dbRDA), which was performed to investigate the relationships between taxa distribution and environmental conditions, along with the values of maximum water temperature and chlorophyll a concentration. Overall, this study provides new insights into how different glacial influences affect the macroinvertebrate communities of freshwater habitats.","PeriodicalId":49906,"journal":{"name":"Limnetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42376874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This CO2 source is especially relevant in the case of Mediterranean reservoirs, where hydrological variability favors the exposure of large sediment areas to air. In spite of this, the role of dry sediments as CO2 emitters has been typically neglected in lakes and reservoirs greenhouse gas emission assessments, and there is also a lack of research on the spatial variability of CO2 fluxes from drawdown sediments. In this study we contribute to this knowledge by combining drone-based aero-photogrammetry techniques with in situ infrarred gas analyzer measurements to assess the magnitude and spatial variability of CO2 fluxes from the drawdown area of a Mediterranean reservoir (El Gergal, Southwestern Spain) during one dry season. Our results show that during survey dry sediments in El Gergal were a relevant net CO2 source to the atmosphere, with a mean emission of 0.36 ± 0.38 g CO2 m-2 h-1. In addition, CO2 fluxes from El Gergal drawdown depict a marked spatial variability, with maximum values measured in areas influenced by river or intermittent streams discharges. Distance to the shore, sediment particle size, pH and temperature also have a significant effect on CO2 emissions from the reservoir dry banks. The expected strengthening of droughts intensity and frequency in the Mediterranean region could enhance the role of exposed sediments from the drawdown of reservoirs as CO2 source to the atmosphere.","PeriodicalId":49906,"journal":{"name":"Limnetica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45018182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In two mesocosm experiments, we evaluated the periphyton responses to enrichment and nutrient dilution in a hypereutrophic reservoir. Effects of the isolated and combined N and P enrichment and dilution levels on periphyton biomass and structure on artificial substrate were investigated. For colonization of periphyton, glass slides were exposed for 14 days (enrichment experiment) and 21 days (dilution experiment) at 20 cm deep. We monitored the effects of N and P enrichment and dilution on the algal biomass, density, and species composition in the periphyton. P was a primary limiting factor for periphyton development. Periphyton algal density and biomass increased in response to combined and isolated P enrichment. Only the 75 % dilution had a positive and significant effect on biomass and algal density in the periphyton.
