About the Book

These proceedings deal with the relationship between species composition of freshwater phytoplankton and the trophic gradient. Particular regard is paid to the composite question, what lives where and why? Overview papers report the state of the art and suggest that the trophic spectrum appears to be a probabilistic outcome of several dimensions of variability that impinge upon phytoplankton species selection. Studies on community structure span all latitudes from those of Antarctica to equatorial Brazil, and also include reports on light and nutrient gradients, pH and fish-stock effects on species composition. Seasonal and longterm phytoplankton dynamics in lakes of varying trophic status are also considered. Finally, studies on the taxonomy and autoecology of some groups (e.g. Volvocales, Chrysophytes and Euglenophytes) living at the extremes of the trophic spectrum contribute to our knowledge of this usually neglected phytoplankton. This is the first time that a book covers such a topic, and it will prove an excellent source of information to anyone working on phytoplankton ecology and ecological indicators. Limnologists in general, algologists and the technical staff at water authorities will all benefit by reading this book.

Table of Contents:
Species Selection in Relation to Tropic Gradients.- Differential attributes of phytoplankton across the trophic gradient: a conceptual landscape with gaps.- What factors influence the species composition of phytoplankton in lakes of different trophic status?.- Processes in the Assembly of Communities.- Summer phytoplankton assemblages across trophic gradients in hard-water reservoirs.- Phytoplankton of two Araucanian lakes of differing trophic status (Argentina).- Phytoplankton species composition is more sensitive than OECD criteria to the trophic status of three Brazilian tropical lakes.- Phytoplankton communities in relation to trophic status in lakes from Hope Bay (Antarctic Peninsula).- The most typical phytoplankton taxa in four types of boreal lakes.- Phytoplankton composition and biomass structure in relation to trophic gradient in some temperate and subarctic lakes of north-western Russia and the Prebaltic.- Ecophysiological characteristics of two planktonic desmid species originating from trophically different lakes.- Freshwater picocyanobacteria along a trophic gradient and light quality range.- Responses of the phytoplankton to a deliberate attempt to raise the trophic status of an acidic, oligotrophic mountain lake.- Comparative study of phytoplankton in an oligotrophic soft water lake under different pH-phosphate ranges.- Fish stock as a variable modifying trophic pattern of phytoplankton.- Seasonal and Long-Term Dynamics.- Seasonality of phytoplankton as an indicator of trophic status of the large perialpine ‘Lago di Garda’.- Phytoplankton dynamics in two reservoirs with different trophic state (Lake Rosamarina and Lake Arancio, Sicily, Italy).- Phytoplankton succession in the oligotrophic Lake Stechlin (Germany) in 1994 and 1995.- Grazing by largeriver zooplankton: a key to summer potamoplankton decline?
