研究高原湖泊沉积物和水体细菌群落结构的差异对于水生态治理与保护具有重要的科学意义。本文选取青藏高原中东部共19个湖泊为研究对象,采集沉积物和水体样本,使用高通量测序技术和统计分析,解析湖泊沉积物和水体细菌群落结构、空间分布特征、共发生网络模式、群落构建过程的差异及其原因。研究结果表明沉积物细菌群落alpha多样性指数(Chao1指数、Shannon多样性指数、Faith’s系统发育指数和Pielou均匀度指数)均显著高于水体细菌群落。沉积物和水体细菌的优势门均为Proteobacteria(相对丰度为45.33%和41.77%),而水体细菌群落结构具有较强的空间异质性。主坐标分析和相似性分析结果表明沉积物和水体中细菌群落结构差异极显著,海拔和纬度分别是青藏高原湖泊沉积物和水体细菌群落结构变化最显著的驱动因子。沉积物和水体细菌群落均具有明显的距离衰减模式,而沉积物细菌比水体细菌群落在空间上的周转率小。采样湖泊沉积物细菌群落共发生网络复杂度和稳定性高于水体细菌。沉积物和水体细菌群落的平均归一化随机率值分别为0.24和0.72,表明确定性过程在沉积物细菌群落构建的过程中起到了重要的作用,而水...     

岱海水体及沉积物细菌多样性及群落组成特征

采用高通量测序技术,研究了内蒙古岱海流域入湖河流、湖水及沉积物细菌多样性及群落组成.结果显示,细菌多样性从高到低依次为：沉积物>河流>湖泊.聚类分析表明入湖河流、湖水和沉积物细菌群落可分为明显不同的3支,说明这3种生境中细菌群落结构有较大差异.物种注释结果表明,河流中优势细菌菌群为髌骨细菌（Patescibacteria）、变形菌门（Proteobacteria）、拟杆菌门（Bacteroidetes）和放线菌门（Actinobacteria）;湖水中优势细菌菌群为放线菌门（Actinobacteria）;而沉积物中优势细菌菌群为变形菌门和绿弯菌门（Chloroflexi）.典范对应分析及Monte Carlo检验表明,电导率和悬浮物含量对水体中（河流与湖泊）细菌群落影响显著,二者共解释了细菌群落变化的86.5%;而冗余分析及Monte Carlo检验表明,泥深、磁化率和总有机碳对沉积物中细菌群落影响显著,三者共解释了细菌群落变化的47.9%.近30年来,岱海地区气候变化和人类活动导致湖水咸化,沉积物碳氮指标显著增长.岱海水体及沉积物细菌多样性及群落组成的差异及其主要驱动因子,反映了细菌对这种气候变化和人类活动共同作用的响应.     

蓝藻生消对巢湖沉积物phoD碱性磷酸酶基因细菌群落结构的影响

phoD基因编码的碱性磷酸酶驱动沉积物有机磷矿化并释放生物可利用磷,促进了富营养化湖泊蓝藻的生长与暴发,但对富营养化湖泊蓝藻生消周期phoD基因细菌群落动态变化的认识依然有限.本文研究了中国典型富营养化湖泊巢湖蓝藻生消过程沉积物碱性磷酸酶活性（APA）、phoD基因细菌多样性和群落结构的动态变化及其与环境的关系.结果显示：巢湖沉积物APA活性在蓝藻生长与暴发阶段显著升高,且与水温、pH、溶解氧（DO）等环境因子显著相关.蓝藻生消各阶段沉积物phoD基因细菌群落的优势菌属均由Pseudonocardia和Friedmanniella构成;与蓝藻潜伏期和衰亡期相比,生长初期与暴发期大多数样点沉积物Pseudonocardia的丰度显著降低而Friedmanniella显著升高.携带phoD基因的菌属丰度呈显著的时空变化,其中菌属丰度的空间异质性较高.蓝藻生长初期与暴发期的phoD基因细菌群落的Ace指数与Shannon多样性指数显著大于潜伏期与衰亡期.研究表明,携带phoD基因细菌群落结构的变化主要受APA、DO、叶绿素a、水温、总磷以及无机磷的驱动;春季蓝藻的生长消耗大量上覆水溶解性无机磷,激发了沉积物APA活性并诱发Friedmanniella生长从而缓解水体磷限制.     

上、下行效应对洱海浮游植物优势功能群的影响

浮游动物牧食、水温及营养可利用性均可影响优势浮游植物功能群的转变,但这些驱动因素的交互作用尚不清楚。为了解云南高原湖泊——洱海浮游植物优势功能群的分布特征及其主要驱动因素,于2018年1月2020年12月进行月度采样,结合聚类分析、方差分析和冗余分析等,分析驱动浮游植物优势功能群转变的主要因素。结果表明,共鉴定浮游植物7门96属,划分为27个浮游植物功能群,其中优势功能群有15个。聚类分析结果表明,根据浮游植物功能群密度数据可将优势功能群转变过程分为3个由不同类型藻类主导的时期（S期、M期和P期）,其中S期（为期18个月）以功能群S1和H1（代表藻为假鱼腥藻、浮丝藻和长孢藻等丝状蓝藻）为主,M期（为期10个月）以功能群M（微囊藻群体）为主,P期（为期8个月）以功能群P和M（脆杆藻和单个微囊藻等）为主。RDA分析及变差分解分析结果表明,卡尔森营养状态指数（TSI）（主要是总磷）是影响以丝状藻类为主的浮游植物功能群的主要驱动因素,TSI和水温是影响以微囊藻为主的浮游植物功能群的重要驱动因素。因此,在富营养化初期湖泊中,降低湖泊营养负荷是首要任务。同时可以考虑增加浮游动物丰度的策略,以增强浮...     

鄱阳湖河湖交错带重金属污染对微生物群落与多样性的影响

鄱阳湖河湖交错带是鄱阳湖流域内河流生态系统与湖泊生态系统之间的界面区域,该区域物种多样性丰富,承接了五大河流的来水,是重要的污染缓冲区和净化区.本文研究了鄱阳湖河湖交错带重金属污染对微生物群落结构和微生物多样性的影响,结果表明,已测的重金属(汞、铜、锌、铅和镉)均有不同程度的污染,其中,铅、汞污染最严重,水质标准为Ⅳ类以上,其他重金属均为Ⅱ类;高通量测序结果表明,鄱阳湖河湖交错带微生物群落主要有变形菌门、放线菌门、拟杆菌门和疣微菌门4类,平均含量分别为58.31%、13.63%、9.69%和1.33%.多样性指数分析结果表明,昌江与乐安河交汇处(R9点位)与鄱阳湖出长江口(H11点位)的微生物多样性指数(Chao 1、Shannon和Simpson指数)最高,万家桥(N2点位)与赣江入湖口(W6点位)微生物多样性指数最低.研究表明,受重金属污染严重的区域通常会使微生物群落丰度降低,然而R9和H11点位重金属污染严重,但微生物多样性却较丰富,说明微生物多样性不仅仅受单一因子影响,而是多重因子共同影响.

大型浅水湖泊中浮游细菌群落的空间格局及其驱动机制——以太湖为例

浮游细菌在驱动湖泊物质循环、指示湖泊水环境质量等方面发挥重要作用,探明其在湖泊中的空间分布格局及其驱动机制,是揭示湖泊物质循环过程及水环境状况的关键。浅水湖泊具有水动力扰动强烈的生境特点,其中的浮游细菌群落空间格局的形成机制尚未明晰。本研究以大型浅水湖泊——太湖为研究对象,通过对全湖开展系统的野外调查,结合高通量测序技术、多元统计分析方法及生态学模型构建,系统探明太湖浮游细菌的空间分布格局,并揭示格局形成的驱动机制。结果显示：（1）太湖西北部湖区（藻型湖区）与东南部湖区（草型湖区）之间浮游细菌群落结构存在显著差异,而这两个区域内各湖区间及湖心区与周边湖区间之间的浮游细菌群落结构差异不显著,太湖浮游细菌群落结构整体上呈现较弱的距离衰减规律;（2）太湖草、藻型湖区及湖心区中浮游细菌群落结构分别与叶绿素a、透明度及总悬浮物显著相关,总体上环境变量对太湖浮游细菌群落空间格局的相对贡献率大于空间变量;（3）尽管确定性过程中的异质化选择、随机过程中的非主导性过程以及扩散限制对太湖浮游细菌空间格局的形成均产生重要影响,但总体上随机过程对格局形成的相对贡献更大;（4）太湖无序风场驱动的水力混合作用导致...     

太湖水体和沉积物细菌群落分布格局及其驱动因素

水体和沉积物是湖泊生态系统中迥异但又紧密相连的两类生境,栖息在这两类生境中的细菌在维持生态系统平衡和驱动元素循环中起着关键性作用。为了探究湖泊水体和沉积物细菌群落的分布格局,本文对太湖四个湖区水体和沉积物中细菌群落进行调查,基于高通量测序技术和统计分析手段,分析这两类生境中的细菌群落组成和多样性水平、分布特征及其驱动因素。结果表明:放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、变形菌门(Proteobacteria)和蓝细菌门(Cyanobacteria)是水体细菌群落中最主要的细菌门,而沉积物中Proteobacteria占据优势地位。在两类生境中,太湖西部区域细菌群落丰富度和独特性(LCBD)相对较高,各区域群落结构表现出显著性差异。对水体而言,电导率、pH值、PC1(重金属组成)和沉积物孔隙度是驱动细菌丰富度的重要因子,PC1、水温及pH值是影响细菌群落LCBD的重要因子,而细菌网络复杂性随pH值的增加而增加,且在高pH环境中占主导地位;对沉积物而言,其丰富度和LCBD的重要影响因子均是沉积物中总磷和锂,细菌网络复杂性随金属元素施加的环境压力增大而降低,但随总磷、磷酸盐和铵态氮浓度的...     

Impact of environmental factors on bacterial communities in floodplain lakes differed by hydrological connectivity

We analysed total bacterial number and mean volume of cells at three sites in each of ten floodplain lakes in the Middle Basin of the Biebrza River, North-Eastern Poland to test bacterioplankton communities change according to the distance to the river. The composition of the bacterial communities was determined by fluorescent in situ hybridization method. Total number of bacteria in the lakes ranged from 4.0 to 7.48 cells × 10⁶ mL⁻¹ with dominance by Actinobacteria, the contribution of which was positively correlated with water level. Old river channels (side-arms) featured Alpha- and Gammaproteobacteria. The community of Betaproteobacteria was limited by concentration of dissolved organic carbon. Archaea, in spite of a minor role (<3.65% of DAPI-4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) in the communities, showed a positive relation to floodplain lake isolation. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that bacterioplankton in riverine lakes was similar to that in rivers, while lakes with limited water exchange showed a similarity to fertile lakes. Water level and nutrients were among the factors determining bacterial community structure.     

近三十年保安湖大型底栖动物群落结构演变及其构建机制

保安湖是江汉湖群的一个典型浅水湖泊。近几十年来,随着经济的快速发展,保安湖面临多重人类压力影响,富营养化问题日趋严重。历史上曾开展过数次的保安湖底栖动物调查,但有关群落结构的长期变化及其驱动机制改变的认知仍为空白。本研究基于30余年（1986 2019）的多次调查数据,探索保安湖底栖动物的群落演变规律及其群落构建机制。研究共记录保安湖底栖动物5门10纲25目49科110属170种（历史记录154种,现场调查51种）。总物种数由1992年的107种降为2019年的51种;平均密度由1992年的433 ind．/m2增加到2019年的2177.6 ind．/m2;平均生物量由2001年的160.6 g/m2降低为2019年的26.7 g/m2。优势种在1987年有寡毛类、水生昆虫和软体动物多个类群,其后逐步演变为现阶段少数几种耐污的寡毛类和摇蚊类,如霍甫水丝蚓（Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri）、中国长足摇蚊（Tanypus chinensis）、红裸须摇蚊（Propsilocerus akamusi）等,而多年生大型软体动物衰退明显。PERMANOVA和SIMPER分析结...     

Impacts of groundwater flow on the evolution of a thermokarst lake in the permafrost–dominated region on the Qinghai–Tibet plateau

As a result of global warming induced permafrost degradation in recent decades, thermokarst lakes in the Qinghai–Tibet plateau (QTP) have been regulating local hydrological and ecological processes. Simulations with coupled moisture–heat numerical models in the Beiluhe basin (located in the hinterland of permafrost regions on the QTP) have provided insights into the interaction between groundwater flow and the freeze–thaw process. A total of 30 modified SUTRA scenarios were established to examine the effects of hydrodynamic forces, permeability, and climate on thermokarst lakes. The results indicate that the hydrodynamic condition variables regulate the permafrost degradation around the lakes. In case groundwater recharges to the lake, a low–temperature groundwater flow stimulates the expansion of the surrounding thawing regions through thermal convection. The thawing rate of the permafrost underlying the lake intensifies when groundwater is discharged from the lake. Under different permeability conditions, spatiotemporal variations in the active layer thickness significantly influence the occurrence of an open talik at the lake bottom. A warmer and wetter climate will inevitably lead to a sharp decrease in the upper limit of the surrounding permafrost, with a continual decrease in the duration of open talik events. Overall, our results underscore that comprehensive consideration of the relevant hydrologic processes is critical for improving the understanding of environmental and ecological changes in cold environments.     

The pattern of sedimentary bacterial communities varies with latitude within a large eutrophic lake

We investigated the diversity, composition, and assembly processes of sedimentary bacterial communities across Lake Taihu, China, a large, shallow, and eutrophic water body. Amplicon-based 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing identified the composition and phylogenetic structure of the bacterial communities within the 28 collected samples. Diversity analysis revealed that sedimentary bacterial communities demonstrated significant trends with nutrient loading and habitat along latitude. We used network analysis to disentangle the role of keystone taxa in bacterial communities. Most identified keystone species were from the genus Nitrospira (affiliated with Nitrospirae), subphylum Deltaproteobacteria (affiliated with Proteobacteria), subphylum Gammaproteobacteria (affiliated with Proteobacteria), family Rhodocyclaceae (affiliated with Betaproteobacteria), phylum Bacteroidetes, genus Bacillus (affiliated with Firmicutes), and family Anaerolineaceae (affiliated with Chloroflexi) in order of abundance. These keystone taxa play fundamental roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling within Lake Taihu. Phylogenetic structure analysis indicated that the bacterial communities were more phylogenetically clustered than expected by chance and that deterministic processes dominated the assembly of bacterial communities across Lake Taihu. Niche selection was the crucial factor driving the assembly of bacterial communities. This study enhances the understanding of the distribution of sedimentary bacterial communities and their assembly mechanisms across Lake Taihu.     

Benthic macroinvertebrate communities of three tropical,warm monomictic Mexican lakes

Most studies of benthic macroinvertebrate communities are from shallow lakes or restricted to the littoral zone of deep, temperate lakes, with just a few dealing with the deep benthos. Furthermore, the deep benthic macroinvertebrate communities of tropical lakes are almost unknown. The present work describes the benthic macroinvertebrate communities of three tropical, warm monomictic lakes in “Lagunas de Montebello” National Park, Mexico, by describing the differences along the bathymetric profile, from the littoral down to the profound benthos. We studied the benthic macroinvertebrate communities in the two contrasting hydrodynamic periods of the warm monomictic lakes: a) stratification, when the hypolimnion becomes anoxic, and b) mixing, when the water column becomes oxygenated. We expected: 1) a reduction in the benthic macroinvertebrate taxonomic richness, density, and biomass from the littoral to the deep zone, 2) an impoverished benthic macroinvertebrate community while stratified (anoxia) compared to mixing (oxygenated), and 3) depletion in the taxonomic richness, density, and biomass of the profundal benthic macroinvertebrates in the tropical compared to temperate lakes. We found: 1) a decreasing trend in taxonomic richness (6 ± 2–3 ± 1 taxa), density (1868.7 ± 1069.7–349.1 ± 601.8 in. m⁻²) and biomass (277.8 ± 188.9–85.1 ± 95.6 mg C m⁻²) from the littoral to the deep zone; chironomids dominated the littoral zone, while oligochaetes dominated the deep zone. 2) Lower density and biomass but not taxonomic richness while stratified (4 ± 3 taxa; 586.2 ± 527.6 in. m⁻²; 81.6 ± 164.3 mg C m⁻²) compared to mixing (4 ± 3 taxa; 877.5 ± 1051.4 in. m⁻²; 190.1 ± 131.1 mg C m⁻²). 3) lower taxonomic richness and density but not biomass in tropical Montebello oligotrophic lakes (3 ± 3 taxa; 349.1 ± 601.8 in. m⁻²; 85.1 ± 195.6 mg C m⁻²) compared to temperate analogous (2–48 taxa; 492−83,189 8 in. m⁻²; 0.13−201.5 mg m⁻²). We conclude the early onset and long-lasting hypolimnetic anoxia restrict the benthic macroinvertebrate community radiation and diversification in tropical, oligotrophic, warm monomictic lakes.     

Macrophyte diversity of lakes in the Pannon Ecoregion (Hungary)

We examined the distribution of submerged and emergent macrophyte species and the entire macrophyte community within and between five lake types (highland reservoirs, alkali lakes, large shallow lakes, small to medium sized shallow lakes, marshes) in the Pannon Ecoregion, Hungary. The lowest submerged, emergent and total species richness was found in alkali lakes. The highest submerged macrophyte richness was in small to medium sized lakes, while the highest emergent macrophyte species richness was in reservoirs, small to medium sized lakes, and marshes. The values of within-lake type beta diversity were generally lower than the values of alpha diversity, especially for submerged macrophytes, indicating between site homogeneity in species composition within the lake types. Emergent macrophyte communities contributed the most to within and between lake type diversity and total (gamma) diversity. Canonical correspondence analyses showed that the main environmental variables which influenced the distribution of submerged macrophytes were conductivity, Secchi transparency and water nitrogen contents. For emergent macrophytes conductivity, lake width, altitude and water depth proved to be the most influential variables. Our results contribute to the knowledge of large-scale distribution of macrophytes in the Pannon Ecoregion and to the identification of conservation value of lakes using macrophytes. The results support the importance of small lakes and artificial lakes in the conservation of macrophyte diversity compared to large and natural lakes in the Pannon Ecoregion.
