Winter Populations and Spring Maximum
• Growth declines in winter when temperature is low and light is low (Figure 15-9).
• Sometimes production under ice cover can be significant (Figure 15-10).
• Sometimes spring maximum begins with growth under ice.
• Usually spring maximum after turnover and dominated by a single species (Figure 15-11).

Spring Decline and Summer
• Decline in nutrients (especially Si) in the photic zone
• In very productive lakes (high phosphate loading)
Diatoms Greens Bluegreens

Fall Turnover and Autumn Circulation
• Temperatures decline• Reduced grazing by zooplankton• High nutrient availabilityDominated by large cells and filaments; usually
dominated by diatoms

Limitation and Availability of Growth Factors in Reservoirs
Consider differences between lakes and reservoirs

Parasitism and Grazing
• Parasites: – Chytrids– Viruses
• Grazers:– Heterotrophic Protists– Zooplankton (see Figure 15-13)• Cladocerans• Copepods• Rotifers
![Page 33: Phytoplankton 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/568166c2550346895ddacd71/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Competitive Interaction & Species Diversity
• Diversity indices– Species diversity declines as fertility increases– In eutrophic waters, diversity increases in the
summer and declines in the winter.

LIGHT UTILIZATION
![Page 38: Phytoplankton 2](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081507/568166c2550346895ddacd71/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Efficiency of Light Utilization
• Utilization of light between 350 and 700nm (Table 15-10)
• In water column efficiency relatively low at surface (light above saturation)
• Efficiency increases slightly with depth but overall carbon fixation decreases (Figure 15-27)

Extracellular Release of Organic Compounds
• Loss of photosynthate
• Many compounds are inhibitory (allelopathy)

Diurnal Changes in Phytoplankton
• Relative to light saturation
• Relative to synchronous division and metabolism
• Vertical migration

Horizontal Variation
• Related to morphometry of lakes and reservoirs (e.g. Figure 15-12)
• Related to longitudinal zones within reservoirs and streams
