Abstract:

Dense mats of free floating plants (FFP) often produce severe underwater light attenuation and strong oxygen depletion in the water column. In this study, we experimentally assessed the zooplankton response to artificial shading using field mesocosms. During 30 days, we simulated three different light scenarios by mimicking the persistence, absence, and fluctuation of FFP typically encountered in vegetated shallow subtropical lakes. We used dark meshes to simulate the abiotic effects engineered by FFP. Both in the permanently covered and fluctuating situations, anoxia impaired zooplankton development. Anoxia constituted a major driving force in shaping the zooplankton response, whereas the feeding resource availability (phytoplankton) seemed to play a minor role; no top down effect on phytoplankton occurred in anoxic situations. In the fluctuating cover regime (periodic darkness and anoxia), the temporal variation of nanophytoplankton was not affected by zooplankton; once again oxygen availability seemed the main force shaping the zooplankton dynamics. Either periodical or permanent shading, associated to anoxic conditions, impaired the success of small herbivores. Large herbivores and microphytoplankton were negatively affected only under persistent shade and anoxia. In contrast, when neither light nor oxygen limitation occurred, such as in the scenario without shading, top-down control occurred. This study highlights the importance that the oxygen dynamics driven by the presence of FFP exert on the structure and dynamics of zooplankton assemblages and on the top down cascading effects on phytoplankton in warm temperate or subtropical shallow lakes. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
