| Abstract |
This study was carried out in Pedu Reservoir from July 2008 to August 2009. Seven sampling stations were designated (including riverine, transitional and lacustrine zone), and phytoplankton, with special emphasis on desmids and dinoflagellates spatial and temporal distribution were examined. Peridinium gatunense (Dinoflagellates) was the dominant species at Station 3 to Station 7. However, at Station 1 and Station 2, Tetraedron regulare and Cosmarium sp. (Desmids) was the dominant species, respectively. Spearmann Rank Correlation test showed correlation between phosphorus and species richness, thus support the ideas about phosphorus is the limiting factors of phytoplankton abundances in lake ecosystems. |
