On the factors affecting distributions of freshwater diatom species in a remote South Atlantic archipelago

Abstract: Diatom species distributions on remote islands are influenced by both habitat quality and location. In this study diatom distributions and water quality were explored in the Falkland Islands archipelago with reference to island floras elsewhere, using 28 freshwater sites (small ponds, shallow lowland lakes, upland tarns and several streams). Site water chemistries varied from strongly acid to circum-neutral and from low to high conductivity and water-colour. Dissolved ions co-varied with conductivity and varie… Show more

“…Besides being affected by differences in lake depth, diatom assemblages in our data set also show relationships with other limnological data, such as pH, nutrient enrichment and temperature, all factors previously been reported as influencing assemblage compositions in several lakes across the world (e.g. Antoniades et al, 2005;Flower et al, 2012;Lim et al, 2001;Verbruggen et al, 2011;Williams et al, 2012). Nutrients and temperature had however a small explanatory value in our data set.…”

“…Surface sediment diatom and chironomid assemblages among the Azorean lakes are influenced by a combination of multiple limnological variables that include conductivity, pH, nitrate, total phosphorous and maximum depth, as also observed in similar other studies elsewhere (e.g. Battarbee et al, 2001;Bigler et al, 2006;Engels & Cwynar, 2011;Flower et al, 2012;Holmes et al, 2009).…”
