    Notes: Abstract Twenty-three extremely acidic (pH between 2.5 and 3.5) mining lakes in Lusatia (Germany) were analysed in order to classify their hydrochemistries and to assist the understanding of phytoplankton colonization of these extreme environments. Neither morphometric nor physical parameters influence phytoplankton composition but determine the extent to which the nutrient supply supports the mass development of Chrysophyceae and Chlorophyceae in certain layers of the water (hypo- or epilimnetic chlorophyll maxima and short mass developments). Conventional trophic classification is not readily applicable to these lakes but a chemical classification on the basis of hydrogen, total iron and acidity is proposed. Species of Ochromonas and Chlamydomonas dominate the phytoplankton in fourteen of the most acid lakes; dinoflagellates occurre additionally in four; a more diverse algal assemblage with diatoms and cryptophytes is found in lakes with moderately acidic (pH 5.7–7.0) or alkaline conditions (pH 7.0–9.4). The lake chemistry is the main determinant for the planktonic composition of the water bodies whereas the trophic state mainly determines the level of algal biomass.

    Notes: Abstract There are different approaches for classifying deep andshallowwaters using physically and ecologically derived parameters.Nevertheless, transition states make it difficult to definebordercrossing points between the two types of limnetic ecosystemsand todistinguish more precisely between different types of shallow,especially highly eutrophicated lakes. We contribute adetailedanalysis of different characteristics of shallow waters fromlakesin the Berlin/Brandenburg-region. In the catchment area of theriver Dahme in Eastern Brandenburg (Scharmützelsee-region)wefind mainly shallow and highly eutrophicated lakes, dominatedbyCyanobacteria. ’Very shallow‘ lakes of different morphometry andtopography are compared with ’medium shallow‘ or deeper lakesinthe region with similar loading characteristics for thefollowingproperties: morphometry, topography, theoretical retentiontime,mixing intensity, nutrient dynamics, external and internalloading,underwater light climate, zeu/zmix,phytoplankton development and oxygen budget. We found that’veryshallow‘ lakes in the region are more efficient in convertingtheavailable phosphorus into phytoplankton biomass because of theconstant and sufficient underwater light climate due to thefavourable relation of zeu and zmix. Weconclude that the regular mixing regime guarantees a stableandnear optimum light/dark rhythm as well as higher heterotrophicactivities, stimulating primary production up to the upperlimit ofalgal development.

    Spring phytoplankton dynamics in a shallow eutrophic lake (1999)

    Notes: Abstract In contrast to other eutrophic shallow lakes in the Scharmützelsee region, a delayed onset of the phytoplankton succession in Lake Melangsee during spring was regularly observed. Biomasses were opposed to the carrying capacity of the lake (calculated from total-P, total-N and underwater light), indicating further regulating factors in spring. This phase was characterised by high Secchi depths, rising flushing and enhanced oxygen concentrations at the lake bottom. Although silicate concentrations decreased in spring, a typical pelagic diatom or cyanobacterial bloom did not develop. Therefore, we frame the hypothesis that a combination of abiotic factors such as increased losses in spring due to higher flushing and a better light supply suppresses pelagic growth and favours benthic diatoms, which outcompete pelagic diatoms for silicate. The vertical oxygen distribution in this period indicates a shift from pelagic primary production to benthic growth. Considering primary production, flushing, under water light supply and nutrients we tried to find the reasons for the depression of phytoplankton growth during spring.
