Exotic species in Lake Champlain

The Lake Champlain basin contains substantially fewer exotic species (N = 48) than the Great Lakes (N > 180), in part due to its isolation from commercial traffic. Exotic species have been introduced by authorized and unauthorized stocking, bait buckets, use of ornamental plants, and through the Champlain and Chambly canals that link the lake to the Hudson River, Mohawk River, Erie Canal, and the Great Lakes. Several species, such as water chestnut and zebra mussels, have had severe ecological, economic, and nuisance effects. The rate of appearance of new species increased in the 1990s, potentially as a result of increasing activity in the basin, improved water quality in the Champlain Canal, and increased sampling. Efforts to slow the introduction of new species have focused on public education and legislation to reduce bait bucket introductions and quarantine undesirable plants; however, the major remaining vector for introductions is the Champlain Canal. An estimated 20 species have entered the lake via canals, of which at least 12 used the Champlain Canal, and numerous species in the connected drainage systems could still enter via this route; some are already in the Erie Canal. Most recently (2008), the Asian clam was discovered two locks below Lake Champlain. The Lake Champlain canals also function as a conduit for exotic species exchange between the Hudson River, St. Lawrence River, and Great Lakes. The potential for future introductions could be reduced by a biological barrier on the Champlain Canal, and additional emphasis on public education.     

Using satellite data to extract volume–area–elevation relationships for Urmia Lake,Iran

Urmia Lake in the northwest of Iran is the second largest hyper-saline lake worldwide. During the past two decades, a significant water level decline has occurred in the lake. The existing estimations for the lake water balance are widely variable because the lake bathymetry is unknown. The main focus of this study is to extract the volume–area–elevation (V–A–L) characteristics of Urmia Lake utilizing remote sensing data and analytical models. V–A–L equations of the lake were determined using radar altimetry data and their concurrent satellite-derived surface data. Next, two approximate models, a power model (PM) and a truncated pyramid model (TPM), were parameterized for Urmia Lake and checked for accuracy. Results revealed that in comparison with the satellite-derived reference volume–elevation equation, the PM slightly over-predicts the volume of Urmia Lake while the TPM under-estimates the lake storage. Variations of the lake area and volume between 1965 and 2011 were examined using the developed V–A–L equations. Results indicated that the lake area and volume have declined from the historical maximum values by 2200 km² and 33 km³, respectively. To restore Urmia Lake to a level to maintain ecological benefits, 13.2 km³ of water is required. This study demonstrates the use of remote sensing data of different types to derive V–A–L equations of lakes. Substituting satellite-derived V–A–L equations for common empirical formulas leads to more accurate estimations of a lake water balance, which in turn, provides insight to water managers for properly assessing and allocating water resources to downstream ecosystems.     

Evidence for internal phosphorus loading,hypoxia and effects on phytoplankton in partially polymictic Lake Simcoe,Ontario

Hypoxia and cyanobacterial blooms were extensive in Lake Simcoe during the 1980s and are still a problem to a lesser degree despite extensive nutrient load reduction from the catchment basin. The continuing signs of productivity indicate a potential internal phosphorus (P) source. Internal P load, as a redox-dependent release from bottom sediments, is hard to determine in a large, relatively shallow and partially unstratified lake such as Lake Simcoe. Of the lake's three major basins, only Kempenfelt Bay stratifies long enough to develop hypoxia in the stagnant summer hypolimnion. The following indications of sediment P release are available from historic data: 1) hypolimnetic hypoxia still occurs in Kempenfelt Bay although the hypoxic factor (number of days that an area equal to the bay's surface area is overlain by water of ≤ 2 mg/L dissolved oxygen, DO) has decreased substantially and significantly from 15.8 d/yr (1980–1994) to 4.0 d/yr (1995–2011); 2) hypoxic factors for other lake sections and at different DO levels also indicate widespread hypoxia; 3) concentrations of redox dependent metals, Fe and Mn, increase with depth; and 4) euphotic zone P and chlorophyll concentrations increase and water clarity decreases during fall turnover. Cyanobacterial blooms appear to occur in response to internal load as supported by occasional cyanobacteria counts. These indicators provide evidence that internal loading is likely occurring and affecting the water quality in Lake Simcoe. We expect that further monitoring, specific for internal load, will corroborate these results.     

Delivery of nutrients and seston from the Muskegon River Watershed to near shore Lake Michigan

Drowned river mouth lakes are major features of coastal Great Lakes habitats and may influence nutrient and organic matter contributions from watersheds to near shore coastal zones. In May through October 2003, we measured loads of nutrients, surficial sediment, and seston to track the delivery of riverine-derived materials from the lower Muskegon River Watershed (MRW) into the near shore area of southeast Lake Michigan. Nutrient flux data indicated that seasonal loads of 1800 metric tons (MT) of particulate organic carbon, 3400 MT of dissolved organic carbon, and 24 MT of total phosphorus were discharged from the lower Muskegon River, with approximately 33% of TP load and 53% of the POC load intercepted within the drowned river mouth terminus, Muskegon Lake. Carbon: phosphorus molar ratios of seston in Muskegon River (C:P = 187) and Muskegon Lake (C:P = 176) were lower than in Lake Michigan (C:P = 334), indicating phosphorus limitation of phytoplankton in near shore Lake Michigan. Isotopic signatures of seston collected in Muskegon Lake were depleted in δ¹³C (− 30.8 ± 1.6‰) relative to the isotope signatures of seston from Lake Michigan (− 26.2 ± 1.3‰) or the mouth of the Muskegon River (− 28.1 ± 0.5‰), likely due to the presence of biogenic methane in Muskegon Lake. Seston δ¹⁵N increased on a strong east-to-west gradient within Muskegon Lake, indicating significant microbial processing of nutrients. The extent of nutrient uptake in Muskegon Lake altered the chemical and isotopic characterization of seston flowing into Lake Michigan from Muskegon River.

双龙湖初级生产力测定及其模型研究

双龙湖是浅水型城市湖泊,一度为重富营养化湖泊。经综合治理其水质得到明显改善。通过黑白瓶法测定双龙湖浮游植物水柱日净产量时空分布,认为双龙湖营养水平较高,且初级生产力同水温、透明度、溶解氧、溶解性总磷呈显著正相关。根据模型计算双龙湖全年浮游植物净产量为1815033 kg,理论产鱼潜力9075.2 kg。与实际情况符合较好。定期收获鱼产品可以从湖泊生态系统中移出氮、磷等营养元素,从而减轻双龙湖富营养化。
