Euan Reavie, Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI), University of Minnesota Duluth
The loss of diatoms in the world's largest freshwater resource. Who is replacing them, and should we care?
Description: While
diatoms remain the most abundant primary producer in the pelagic
Laurentian Great Lakes, long-term time series data indicate that other
algae, such as flagellates, are gradually taking their place. Drivers
appear to be related to climate, invasive species, and nutrients. The
prevailing trend toward cyanobacterial blooms in shallower waters is
also concerning, but it is clear through clique analysis that these
cyanobacteria are not alone -- diatoms and other algae are there, too!
Do they play some partnering role? Maybe you know.
Audience: This talk is directed at ecologists and generalists interested in understanding how lakes are changing over time, and the importance of those changes.
