Regional application of a fish yield estimation procedure to lakes in north-east Germany

Primary production and total phosphorus, respectively, have recently been used as the main variables to estimate the fish yield potential of lakes. In order to improve the accuracy of the estimation procedure for regional applications, two major adaptations were implemented. Both the relations between total phosphorus and primary production as well as primary production and corresponding fish yield potential were adjusted to specific regional conditions in north-east Germany and production patterns in shallow lakes, respectively. Applied to 786 lakes, the adapted procedure led to estimated fish yield potentials in the range of 8 … 67 kg/ha · a with shallow lakes showing significantly higher potentials than stratified ones. A comparison of estimated yield potentials with current yield statistics revealed an improved conformity of estimates attained by using the adapted procedure.     

Factors affecting clarity of freshwater lakes in Brandenburg, Germany

In the German State Brandenburg, water clarity and the concentrations of the water quality components chlorophyll a, seston and gelbstoff were measured in 27 lakes. Correlation analysis showed, that spectral beam attenuation at 662 and 514 nm was mainly dependent on changes in chlorophyll a concentrations. In the UV-channel at 360 nm, beam attenuation depended mostly on gelbstoff.

Multiple linear regression provided a direct model of beam attenuation at 514 nm with the inputs of inorganic seston, chlorophyll a and gelbstoff. The specific beam attenuation coefficients were comparable to other natural waters around the world. An inverse model is presented, from which gelbstoff and chlorophyll a could be predicted with some accuracy from the inputs of beam attenuation coefficients at 514 and 360 nm. However, it became obvious that biological variability put major constraints on the predictive capacity of both the direct and the inverse model.

Furthermore, we observed a good correspondence of Secchi depth and the inverse of beam attenuation at 514 nm. The predictions of Secchi depth and chlorophyll a concentration from the inverse model were assessed in perspective of using this instrument instead of laborious chemical analysis for future trophic status classification according to LAWA (Länderarbeitsgemeinschaft Wasser). Predictions of trophic status were principally good when using calibrated models, however, quality of classification critically depended on predictions of chlorophyll a.     

Pelagic ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora) of different brackish and freshwater lakes — a community analysis at the species level

The pelagic ciliate communities from 58 north German lakes differing in their origin (natural lakes and artificial ponds), morphology (from shallow ponds with a maximum depth of below 0.5 m to relatively deep lakes with a maximum depth of more than 10 m, surface areas from below 10 ha to more than 100 ha), trophic state (from mesotrophic to hypertrophic) and salinity (freshwater lakes and brackish water lakes) are described and compared at species level. Each lake was comprehensively sampled quarterly in the years 1996 and 1997, respectively. Applying a quantitative protargol stain, about 140 ciliate species could be identified and quantified in all investigated lakes. 35 species, mainly members of the Prostomatida and Oligotrichida, were found commonly in all types of lakes at all seasons and dominated the pelagic ciliate communities. 3 species were common in freshwaters, but never occurred in brackish lakes. In the brackish waters a mixture of common freshwater species and marine species was found with 13 species exclusively occurring in brackish waters. Lowest ciliate cell numbers were observed for deep freshwater lakes, highest cell numbers were determined for brackish waters. Highest species richness was found in artificial peat ponds with an average of 24 pelagic ciliate species in spring samples. The range of occurrence for the identified species was wide for most common species. However, the influence of some environmental factors could be enlightened.     

富营养化初期湖泊放养鲢(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)、鳙(Aristichthys nobilis)控藻生态效果的初步评估

放养鲢（Hypophthalmichthys molitrix）、鳙（Aristichthys mobilis）控制富营养化湖泊蓝藻水华暴发是当前最有效的手段之一.为评估富营养化初期湖泊鲢、鳙控藻的生态效果,2016年在洱海红山湾开展原位围栏鲢、鳙控藻实验,对围栏内外的浮游生物群落结构及水环境因子的变化进行对比分析,同时测定了围栏内鲢、鳙的生长及摄食节律.结果表明：围栏内鲢、鳙呈现匀速生长,围栏生存环境适宜.根据Egger''s模型估算鲢、鳙的日摄食量分别为24.96%和18.18%,鲢的日粮高于鳙;滤食率结果表明,鲢对浮游植物的摄食率高于鳙（分别为3.01和2.19 L/（g·h）,而鳙对浮游动物的滤食率高于鲢（分别为18.61和13.54 L/（g·h））.研究期间,围栏内外水体理化因子无显著差异;但围栏内外微囊藻生物量差异明显,并且在7月达到生物量峰值（围栏内为1.7 mg/L,围栏外为2.4 mg/L）.鲢、鳙对浮游植物的优势种类——微囊藻和隐藻有明显的削减效果,6-8月逐渐上升并在8月达到最高（64%）;当浮游植物优势种由微囊藻替换为硅藻门和绿藻门的种类时,鲢、鳙的削减效率不明显（10-11月为负值）.此外,鲢、鳙放养显著降低了浮游甲壳动物的总生物量和枝角类生物量.因此,结合实验结果得出,鲢具有更高的控藻能力,尤其对微囊藻水华,但同时具备了较高对浮游甲壳动物的削减能力,需要进一步分析富营养化初期湖泊——洱海中实施非经典生物操纵的适宜性.     

淡水磷酸盐氧同位素前处理方法的优化

磷是地表水体中的关键性营养盐,在水生生态系统的物质循环与能量流动方面发挥着重要作用,研究水体中磷的来源、转化与归趋对于了解水环境的演变过程与科学保护具有重要意义.近年来,磷酸盐氧同位素(δ18 O P)技术已逐渐应用于淡水环境中磷的来源示踪与生物地球化学循环研究,其样品前处理主要沿用海水方法体系.相比而言,淡水样品中PO 3-4浓度通常较低,有机质和干扰离子含量却较高,复杂的样品前处理过程极大地制约了δ18 O P分析在淡水环境体系的广泛应用.为此,本研究针对现有海水样品δ18 O P前处理方法在地表淡水环境的适用性加以检验,并进行了三点优化改进:①将MAGIC沉淀步骤使用的MgCl 2替换为Mg(NO 3)2,避免了Cl-的干扰,减少AgCl杂质的生成;②调节生成Ag3PO4溶液pH值为8.0,保证Ag3PO4沉淀快速完全;③对Ag3PO4沉淀过程采用避光处理,降低了AgNO 3及Ag3PO4可能的光解影响,提高了Ag3PO4的纯度,使δ18 O P的测试结果更为准确.本改进方法为后续利用δ18 O P技术深入探究淡水环境中磷的生物地球化学循环与生态环境效应提供了有益的方法借鉴.     

Influence of artificial groundwater lakes on the abundance and activity of bacteria in adjacent subsurface systems

Bacterial abundances and activity, estimated by 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining (DAPI) and the reduction of 2-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(p-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl tetrazolium chloride (INT), were investigated in two oligotrophic artificial groundwater lakes and the surrounding aquifers. To evaluate the effect of lake water on groundwater downstream, samples were taken from wells at different distances from the lakes, and the total number of bacteria and the number of active bacteria in these samples were compared with samples collected upstream. In addition, sterilized sandy sediments were exposed in groundwater wells to measure the number and activity of bacteria attached to particles. At one of the study sites, where the lake sediments were disturbed by dredging, total bacterial abundance and the number of respiring bacteria in the groundwater aquifer was clearly influenced by the lake water. The average bacterial abundances decreased from 2.6 ± 1.9 × 10⁵ cells ml⁻¹ in the well closest to the lake (S2) to 2.9 ± 3.8 × 10⁴ cells ml⁻¹ in the most distant one (S4), which was equivalent to cell numbers in the upstream well. The number of respiring bacteria showed a similar tendency with 1.3 ± 2.7 × 10⁴ active cells ml⁻¹ in S2 and 1.9 ± 1.5 × 10³ active cells ml⁻¹ in S4. At the second study site, which was not influenced by dredging, bacteria in the downstream wells seemed not to be affected by the lake water. The number and activity of bacteria, which colonized exposed sediments, were not significantly different in the upstream and downstream wells, indicating a minor influence of lake water on this habitat. Our results suggest that gravel-pit lakes may influence the free living bacterial assemblages in nearshore groundwater systems, but do not visibly affect numbers and activity of bacteria attached to the surface of aquifer sediments.     

格陵兰冰盖次表面湖多源遥感监测——以格陵兰中西部流域为例

格陵兰冰盖在夏季会发生剧烈融化,融水在低洼处汇集形成冰面湖,储存了大量的融水,在冰盖的水文系统中起着至关重要的作用,是格陵兰冰盖质量平衡的重要组成部分.近期有研究发现大量的冰面湖在冬季不会完全冻结,而是掩埋在雪层或冰层下以液态水形式存在,形成冰盖次表面湖.冰盖次表面湖对格陵兰冰盖稳定性和物质平衡会产生重要的影响.由于次表面湖存在于冰盖表层之下难以通过可见光影像进行提取和分析,次表面湖的监测成为次表面湖研究的难点之一.本研究提出一种利用Landsat8和Sentinel-1数据自动提取次表面湖范围的方法.该方法先利用可见光影像提取夏季冰面湖的范围对SAR影像进行掩膜,再根据冬天水体和冰面的后向散射具有可分性的原理,通过Rosin阈值分割算法,提取得到2018—2019年冬季格陵兰中西部流域的次表面湖并对其分布进行分析.在研究区内选择10个测试区域,利用该方法对区域内的次表面湖进行目视解译,并对算法自动提取次表面湖结果进行精度验证.结果表明,本研究提出的自动提取算法Kappa系数为0.85.基于该方法,本研究在2018年格陵兰中西部流域共提取夏季冰面湖的面积为102.28 km².约43.09%的夏季冰面湖不会完全冻结,从而在冬季形成次表面湖(面积为44.07 km²).

本文着重归纳气候变化对湖库热力特性、冰期、溶解氧、营养盐、浮游植物和水生植物等方面的影响规律,探讨气候变化对湖库水环境潜在影响的区域差异,讨论现有研究方法的优缺点和发展前景.研究表明,气候变暖对湖库物理过程的影响最为显著;热带草原气候和温带海洋性气候对于气候变暖和降雨变化的响应较其他气候类型突出;气候变化对湖库水环境的影响效果具有两面性.通过分析各气候类型中气候变暖对磷水平的潜在影响差异表明,亚热带季风气候的湖库更可能受气候变暖的影响趋于富营养状态.在今后研究中,建议深入开展各气候类型中区域性气候变化对湖库水环境影响的实例研究.     

Metacommunity dynamics of Ostracoda in temporary lakes: Overall strong niche effects except at the onset of the flooding period

Metacommunity research usually focuses on the structure of species assemblages and their influencing factors, chiefly environment and space. However, the temporal dynamics of metacommunities and their structuring processes are rarely investigated. Here, we analyze the temporal variations in a metacommunity of ostracods from temporary shallow lakes of the Iberian Peninsula. Our aims were to determine the variability of the ostracod assemblages throughout a hydrological cycle by means of partial triadic analysis (PTA), and to analyze the response of these communities to both environmental and spatial variables. The metacommunity was moderately stable through the study period, with larger variability between sites than between months. However, the metacommunity structure at the beginning of the hydroperiod was notably different from the rest of months. Species sorting was the predominant mechanism structuring the metacommunity through monthly samples, establishing a conspicuous separation between species that inhabit saline lakes and those preferring freshwater bodies. Spatial processes were negligible. Our results show the strength of a temporal approach in the study of metacommunities, against a single snapshot, stressing differences at the onset and the end of hydroperiod in temporary water bodies, but still surpassed by species sorting effects under a steep environmental gradient.

Prediction of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentrations in deep,seasonally stratified lakes based on rates of DIN input and N removal processes

Mean dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentrations ([DIN]) in deep, seasonally stratified lakes with comparable DIN inputs can differ by up to a factor of 3 depending on hydraulic and morphometric properties and/or different trophic states of the lakes. In such lakes, net N sedimentation rates were estimated with two independent methods (sediment core analysis and input-output mass balances). They were higher in eutrophic lakes (Mean: 5.1; SD: ± 1.6 g m^–2 yr^–1; n = 13) than in oligotrophic lakes (1.6 ± 1.0 g m^–2 yr^–1; n = 3), but independent of [DIN]. Gaseous N loss rates to the atmosphere, as calculated from combined N- and P-mass balances from selected lakes, ranged from 0.9 to 37.4 g m^–2 yr^–1 (n = 10) and were positively correlated with [DIN]. Reduction of NO ₃ ^- to N₂ is assumed to be the main cause for gaseous N losses. A simple one-box mass balance model for [DIN], based on DIN input and rates and kinetics of N removal processes (net sedimentation and gaseous N loss) is proposed, and validated with a data base on [DIN] and DIN input in 19 deep, seasonally stratified lakes of central Europe. The model illustrated that the amount of water loading per unit surface area of a lake (called water discharge height q) is the critical parameter determining mean lake [DIN] relative to mean input [DIN]. Lakes with a q > 50 m yr^–1 have average [DIN] similar to the [DIN] of the inflows regardless of their trophic states, because input and outflow exceed lake-internal N removal processes. A high primary production favors DIN removal in lakes with q < 50 m yr^–1. It is concluded that measures to decrease primary production, e.g. by means of P removal programs, lead to an increase of [DIN] in lakes.     

Estimation of wind-forced internal seiche amplitudes in lakes and reservoirs, with data from British Columbia, Canada

Analyses of observations from four lakes in British Columbia, Canada, compare estimates of the amplitude of thermocline deflections to predictions of wind-driven internal seiche amplitudes made using the Wedderburn number,W. The study sites range from the 750 m diameter Brenda Mines pit-lake to the 107 km long Kootenay Lake. Causal filtering of the wind data with a frequency cut-off based on the fundamental baroclinic time-scale is critical for correct calculation ofW. With the filtering incorporated, good comparison betweenW, its integral equivalent the Lake numberL _N and the observations can be made. In all but the mine pit-lake, upwelling or near-upwelling conditions (W≈1) were encountered.     

Cyclotella-taxa (Bacillariophyceae) in lakes of the Alpine region and their relationship to environmental variables

Surface sediment diatom assemblages for 86 Alpine lakes were analysed focusing on the dominant genusCyclotella and corresponding environmental data. The range of morphological variability of theCyclotella bodanica/radiosa, C. distinguenda, C. ocellata, C. comensis andC. stelligera complexes was documented. Significance tests included in the canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated that total phosphorus, conductivity and surface water temperature were significantly correlated withCyclotella taxa assemblage distribution. Numerical species optima and tolerances were calculated in respect to these significant variables using weighted averaging (WA) regression and calibration. CCA and WA were able to provide information about the environmental preferences of the various morphotypes observed.     

Comparison of Cu and Zn cycling in eutrophic lakes with oxic and anoxic hypolimnion

Data on the cycling of Cu and Zn in two eutrophic lakes are presented: Lake Greifen that becomes seasonally anoxic in its hypolimnion and Lake Sempach that is aerated during winter and oxygenated during summer. They suggest that hypolimnetic oxygenation 1) enhances the release of copper from the sediment but 2) also accelerates the entrapment and deposition of Cu and Zn by freshly formed Mn- and Fe-oxides.     

青藏高原东南缘高山湖泊藻类响应气候变化和大气沉降的长期特征

高山湖泊远离人类活动直接影响,通常具有面积小、寡营养、食物网单一等特点,对气候变化和营养输入具有较高的敏感性。我国青藏高原东南缘地区氮沉降通量较高、增温幅度显著,已有研究显示该地区可能受湖泊类型、流域特征等影响存在差异性的湖泊响应模式。本研究选择该区域位于树线以下、具有不同水深的3个小型湖泊(盖公错纳、沃迪错、碧沽天池)开展沉积物调查和对比研究,通过钻孔样品测年、理化特征和藻类(硅藻群落、藻类色素)等多指标分析,结合区域气候定量重建和氮沉降等数据收集,评价了过去300年来藻类演替模式的异同特征及湖泊水深的调节作用。结果显示,3个湖泊中硅藻的优势物种与群落组成差异明显。深水型湖泊盖公错纳(最大水深39.4 m)的硅藻群落以浮游种为主(占比达82%),优势种为眼斑小环藻(Pantocsekiolla ocellata)、科曼小环藻(Pantocsekiella comensis);深水型湖泊沃迪错(最大水深20.7 m)的硅藻群落中浮游种和底栖种约各占50%,优势种为眼斑小环藻(Pantocsekiella ocellata)、连结脆杆藻(Saurosira construens);浅水湖...     

可解释性长短期记忆模型用于预测湖泊总磷浓度变化

对湖泊总磷的变化预测和来源识别对水资源调度和流域生态治理有着重要的意义,然而复杂的生化反应和水动力条件导致的非平稳性给湖泊总磷浓度的准确预测带来极大的困难。为克服这一挑战,本文引入了基于加权回归的季节趋势分解(seasonal and trend decomposition using Loess,STL)技术和夏普利加法(SHapley additive exPlanations,SHAP)结合长短期记忆网络(long short-term memory neural network,LSTM)和门控循环单元(gated recurrent unit,GRU)构建了一个可解释的预测框架,以增强对湖泊总磷浓度演变的预测并提高其可解释性。研究表明:(1)在骆马湖总磷浓度的预测中,该框架拥有较好的预报精度(R²=0.878),优于LSTM和卷积长短期记忆模型(convolutional neural networks and long short term memory network,CNN-LSTM)。当预测时间步长增加到8 h时,该框架有效提高了总磷浓度的预测精度,平均相对误差和均方根误差分别降低了47.1%和33.3%。从预测趋势来看,骆马湖在汛期的总磷平均浓度为0.158 mg/L,相较于非汛期的平均浓度,增加了202.1%。(2)运河来水是骆马湖总磷浓度最重要的影响因素,贡献权重为60.0%,并且不同断面(三湾、三场)的污染源受水动力、气象等因素的影响存在显著的时空差异。本文凸显了神经网络模型在预警水体污染方面的可实施性,并且为提高传统神经网络的学习能力和可解释性的开发与验证提供了重要方向。     

Macrophytes and phytobenthos as indicators of ecological status in German lakes — a contribution to the implementation of the water framework directive

A new assessment system for macrophytes and phytobenthos in German lakes according to the Water Framework Directive of the European Community is described. Based on biological, chemical and hydromorphological data from about 100 lake sites covering the main ecoregions, hydromorphological lake types and degradation forms, biocoenotic types could be defined. For developing a classification system the quality element macrophytes and phytobenthos was divided into two components: macrophytes and benthic diatoms. For macrophytes 4 and for benthic diatoms 4 lake types were identified. The benthic vegetation at reference conditions is described and degradation is characterised as deviation in benthic vegetation species composition and abundance from the reference biocoenosis. For classification in five ecological status classes, several metrics were developed and used in combination with existing indices. For a few of the described lake types further investigations are necessary before a classification can be developed.     

滇池福保湾沉积物磷的形态及其与间隙水磷的关系

研究了滇池福保湾沉积物中磷的地球化学形态及间隙水中PO43--P含量的垂向分布特征.福保湾沉积物磷形态空间差异大,河口区TP高达(5630.59±424.25)mg/kg,东西沿岸区TP只有200-300mg/kg,无机磷(I-P)是TP的主要部分,占TP的55%-74%,铁/铝结合态磷(Fe/Al-P)是I-P的主要组成部分,约占I-P的90%,不稳定性磷∞P)含量很低,只占TP含量的0.5%.福保湾沉积物具有极高的Fe/Al-P含量,说明湾内具有很高的内源磷负荷,这与福保湾水体严重富营养化和藻类暴发关系密切.湖湾沉积磷的垂向分布规律较复杂,但基本上是随深度增加而减小,说明福保湾周边区域近几年人类活动作用加强,褐保湾污染有加重的趋势.在湾内不同区域应用Peeper(渗吸膜式)技术,获得了间隙水中PO43--P的垂向分布特征,PO43--P浓度自上覆水向下层间隙水呈先升后降,反映它们有自间隙水向上覆水扩散的趋势.福保湾间隙水PO43--P浓度同沉积物L-P含量具有显著正相关性(α=0.05),但Fe/Al-P、Ca-P、org-P和TP含量未发现有明显的相关关系.     

Glacial atmospheric CO2 decline in association with decrease of marine sedimentary phosphorus

The environmental and biogeochemical information extracted from the sediments collected from the northern shelf of the South China Sea shows that terrigenous inputs of phosphorus into the sea remained relatively constant, and the variation of phosphorus contents at different depths was caused by climatic and environmental changes. The findings also suggest that the vertical variation of phosphorus content was opposite to those of calcium carbonate and cadmium, and the functional correlation between CO₂ and PO ₄ ³⁻ in seawater was given by calculating the chemical equilibrium, indicating that the accumulation of marine sedimentary phosphorus may have something to do with the variation of atmospheric CO₂. The decreased phosphorus accumulation as well as the correspondingly-increased calcium carbonate content might be one of key factors causing glacial atmospheric CO₂ decline.     

2016—2020年长江中游典型湖泊水质和富营养化演变特征及其驱动因素

“十三五”时期,长江流域水环境质量改善明显,但湖泊水质和富营养化状况改善滞后.长江中游作为我国淡水湖泊集中分布区域之一,部分湖泊存在水环境质量恶化和富营养化加重问题.本文以长江中游区域国家开展监测的洪湖、斧头湖、梁子湖、大通湖、洞庭湖和鄱阳湖这6个典型湖泊为研究对象,科学评价其2016-2020年水质和富营养化时空变化特征及关键驱动因素,探讨其成因及治理对策.结果表明,“十三五”时期长江中游湖泊水质和富营养化程度存在较大差异,与2016年相比,2020年大通湖水质改善最为明显,梁子湖水质变差,总磷是影响长江中游湖泊水质类别的主要因子;洪湖富营养程度恶化最为严重,斧头湖次之,TLI(SD)对长江中游湖泊富营养化评价贡献最大.目前长江中游湖泊呈有机污染加重和叶绿素。浓度升高现象,洪湖、斧头湖和梁子湖主要与氮、磷营养盐浓度升高有关,而大通湖、洞庭湖和鄱阳湖受水文过程、流域纳污量和湖泊管理等非营养盐因素影响较大.总氮和总磷仍然是影响“十三五”时期长江中游湖泊水质和富营养化的最主要驱动力,且各湖泊总氮和总磷浓度变化均具有较强正相关性,建议开展河湖氮、磷标准衔接工作,提出河湖氮、磷标准限值或考核目...
