Interplay between Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts in Shaping Phytoplankton Community in Subalpine Lake: A Case Study from Italy
Author(s): Speranza Claudia Panico*, Alessandro Pedretti, Damiano Virgilio and Guido Incerti
Context: Phytoplankton is a crucial component of limnic ecosystems as being the foremost representative of primary producers, then sustaining the whole trophic network. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of changing environmental conditions, in the period 2011-2023, on phytoplankton community’s structure and successional dynamics in a temperate-meso/eutrophic-lake in NE Italy.
Methods: Single taxa and diversity metrics based on biovolume data were related to physicochemical variables (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen) along the water column, and concentrations of macronutrients (nitrite, nitrites and phosphorus) and herbicides (2-hydroxyatrazine, 2-hydroxy-terbuthylazine, desethylterbuthylazine, terbuthylazine, metolachlor and metolachlor ESA) collected on a monthly base for the 12-years perio..
