A large-scale geographical coverage survey reveals a pervasive impact of agricultural practices on plankton primary producers

Manuel Castro Berman et al.

Summary: The study assessed the environmental implications and ecological consequences of agricultural land use and glyphosate contamination on phytoplankton in 52 shallow lakes in the central pampas in Argentina. Results showed that indicators of glyphosate usage were positively correlated with lake turbidity and Cyanobacteria abundance, and negatively associated with Chlorophyceae diversity, as well as positively correlated with abundance of small-sized representatives within major algal classes.

Adaptations of microbial communities and dissolved organics to seasonal pressures in a mesotrophic coastal Mediterranean lake

Lorena Selak et al.

Summary: This study investigates the seasonal changes in microbial communities and dissolved organic matter (DOM) in Vrana lake, Croatia, a shallow lake impacted by agricultural activity. Environmental stressors such as drought, seawater intrusion, and heavy precipitation events were found to drive the microbial community and DOM structure. The study suggests that prolonged dry seasons and heavy irrigation can have a significant impact on microbial communities and the trophic state of coastal freshwater lakes.

eDNA biomonitoring revealed the ecological effects of water diversion projects between Yangtze River and Tai Lake

Lijuan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study used environmental DNA metabarcoding to investigate the potential ecological impact of water diversion on the connected basins. The results showed that water diversion accelerated biotic homogenization between different waterbodies and affected the local community compositions of phytoplankton in Tai Lake.

Water quality parameters affect dynamics of phytoplankton functional groups in Lake Hawassa, Ethiopia

Getacher Beyene Estifanos et al.

Summary: The water quality of Lake Hawassa is deteriorating due to high influent loads from various sources. The dynamics of phytoplankton functional groups in the lake are affected by dominant zooplankton and macrophyte coverage. Electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, Secchi depth, and total phosphorus were found to play an important role in influencing the dynamics of algal functional assemblage in Lake Hawassa.

Biogeochemical Features of Functioning of Small Arctic Lakes of the Khibiny Mountains under Climatic and Environmental Changes

V. A. Dauvalter et al.

Summary: The composition of waters in Arctic mountain lakes of the Khibiny alkaline massif is influenced by natural and anthropogenic factors. Changes in pH, mineralization, ion and trace element content, and phytoplankton quantities decrease with increasing altitude, while the sulfate fraction in the lakes' anion composition increases. Atmospheric emissions from nearby enterprises lead to higher concentrations of certain elements in lake waters, and heavy metals accumulate in the sediment due to local industrial activities and transboundary transport of pollutants. Additionally, changes in diatom populations and species diversity in the sediment reflect a likely extension of the open-water period due to current climatic changes in the Arctic.

Phytoplankton Community Structure Dynamics in Relation to Water Environmental Factors in Zhalong Wetland

Xiaoyu Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the community structure of phytoplankton and its response to environmental factors in Zhalong wetland. The results showed that phytoplankton abundance and biomass were highest in summer, and the dominant species varied across seasons and areas. The findings from random forest analysis were generally consistent with those from CCA, indicating that different environmental factors influenced phytoplankton in different areas.

Growth, calcium content, proximate composition, and fatty acid composition of triangle sail mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii) fed five different microalgal diets

Qiang Chen et al.

Summary: The sustainable cultivation of triangle sail mussel Hyriopsis cumingii is hindered by the lack of a suitable diet. Through single factor experiments, it was found that Cyclotella sp. was the optimal microalgal diet for H. cumingii, followed by Scenedesmus dimorphus.

Assessing ecological status in karstic lakes through the integration of phytoplankton functional groups, morphological approach and environmental DNA metabarcoding

Nikola Hanzek et al.

Summary: This study focused on comparing the comparability of eDNA metabarcoding and morphologically-based assessment in evaluating the ecological status of Croatian natural lakes. Results showed a high correlation between the two methods in determining HLPI values, which were classified into good or high ecological status. However, differences were found in the compositions and proportions of functional groups due to variations in chlorophyll a measurement methods.

Ecological health assessments of rivers with multiple dams based on the biological integrity of phytoplankton: A case study of North Creek of Jiulong River

Ling Lin et al.

Summary: North Creek of Jiulong River is relatively healthy in summer and fall, but exhibits the worst conditions in winter. More than 50% of sites in the dam reservoir area have lower than moderate ecological health assessments, with the mainstream having lower health levels than tributaries. The PIBI index is correlated with basic water physicochemical parameters and can be used to evaluate river health status effectively.

Kevin Weitemier et al.

Summary: Genetic diversity is crucial for species conservation and management, and this study analyzed mitochondrial genetic diversity in four Oncorhynchus species using multigene metabarcode sequences. Variations in genetic diversity were found among species, with unique haplotypes present in certain regions. Characterizing genetic diversity at multiple loci provides essential information for conservation efforts and genetic management.

Seasonal variation in water quality, plankton diversity and microbial load of tropical freshwater lakes in Nigeria

Ihuoma N. Anyanwu et al.

Summary: Seasonal changes greatly impact tropical ecosystems, influencing water quality in lakes that serve as essential water and food sources. This study assessed the seasonal variations in water quality, plankton diversity, and microbial load in four lakes, highlighting the importance of regular water quality assessments particularly in light of climate change-related seasonal shifts.

Phytoplankton functional groups as ecological indicators in a subtropical estuarine river delta system

Chao Wang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the bioindicators of aquatic environments using phytoplankton functional groups (FGs) in a subtropical estuarine river delta system. While water quality in 2015 was better than in 2012, there were no interannual differences in phytoplankton FGs similarities, suggesting that current water quality improvements were insufficient to affect the interannual alterations of FGs. Dominant FG diversity could be a good indicator of spatial and seasonal variations in water quality, showing lower diversity in high eutrophic conditions and higher diversity when water quality was better. Continuing efforts to improve water quality may enhance the diversity of dominant FGs in the study area.
