Biofilms as potential indicators of macrophyte-dominated lake health

Abstract: The structural and functional attributes of biofilms from Lake Baiyangdian, China, were tested to evaluate the utility of biofilms as indicators of macrophyte-dominated lake health. Biofilms on artificial substrata were sampled at 8 sites in the lake during different seasons. The responses of biofilms to land use and water quality changes were analyzed. The biofilm structural and functional attributes fluctuated seasonally. All attributes we tested differed significantly with different land use. Generally, bio… Show more

“…El efecto estimulador del metabolismo y el crecimiento por parte de los nutrientes sobre el perifiton puede ser mucho mayor que el efecto negativo de los pesticidas como se desprende de los resultados de los experimentos del capítulo 5. Esto también ha sido observado por Ma et al (2011). Ferreiro et al (2011) encuentran que en los arroyos pampeanos, naturalmente ricos en nutrientes, los organismos descomponedores pueden ser más propensos a almacenar o utilizar los nutrientes adicionales para procesos como la reproducción en vez de usarlos para el crecimiento.…”
