PHYTOPLANKTON COMMUNITY DYNAMICS RELATED TO CERTAIN PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL VARIABLES IN ARDIÇTEPE RESERVOIR (BALIKESIR, TURKEY)
KEMAL ÇELIK, AYSU ASAR
Abstract:
Ardıçtepe Reservoir (Balıkesir, Turkey) was sampled seasonally at three stations between October 2018 and August 2019 to determine the phytoplankton community dynamics in relation to water temperature, speciffic conductance (SC), total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) and Secchi disk depth. A total of 43 phytoplankton species were identified, 27 from Bacillariophyta, 4 from Charophyta, 6 from Chlorophyta, 5 from Cyanobacteria and 1 from Euglenozoa. Bacillariophyta
made 76% total number of species, Cyanobacteria 11%, Chlorophyta 6%, Charophyta 4% and Euglenozoa 3%. Aulacoseria granulata, Aulacoseira granulata var. angustissima, Cyclotella meneghiniana and Ulnaria ulna from Bacillariophyta and Anabaena circinalis from Cyanobacteria dominanted phytoplankton during the study. The CCA explained 90.8% of the cumulative variance in the relationships of dominant species-environment. The CCA also showed that water temperature, TDS, ORP and pH had significant effects on the phytoplankton community of Ardıçtepe Reservoir (Monte Carlo test, p<0.05).
