Plankton Diversity in Tropical Wetlands Under Different Hydrological Conditions (Lake Tana, Ethiopia)

Abstract: Plankton is an integral part of wetland biodiversity and plays a vital role in the functioning of wetlands. Diversity patterns of plankton in wetlands and factors structuring its community composition are poorly understood, albeit important for identifying areas for restoration and conservation. Here we investigate patterns in local and regional plankton richness and taxonomic and functional community composition in riverine papyrus swamps, river mouth wetlands, and lacustrine wetlands in the Lake Tana sub-bas… Show more

“…However, the shallowest Lake Tana's greater nutrient levels may favor primary productivity (Tibebe et al, 2019;Wondie et al, 2017). Although the lake's higher turbidity and dissolved solid concentrations are generally limit phytoplankton growth (Kahsay et al, 2022;Mucheye et al, 2022).…”
