Abstract:

1. There is an increasing concern to understand the role of free-floating plants (FFP) on the functioning and structure of shallow lakes, particularly the mechanisms by which their dominance is self-stabilizing and how they may outcompete phytoplankton. 2. In a field experiment with mesocosms, we simulated three commonly encountered scenarios in warm temperate shallow lakes: FFP dominance, FFP fluctuation and FFP absence. We explored the effects of several key processes, triggered by FFP dynamics, on the composition, diversity and production of phytoplankton, and on the physicochemical conditions. 3. The effects of persistent floating mats on light interception triggered a complex response by the phytoplankton: species were lost and biomass was low, yet high diversity and productivity potential were maintained. A contrasting phytoplankton response characterized mesocosms lacking FFP, where light was sufficient but nitrogen was limiting. Fluctuating FFP cover brought periodic shifts between these two limiting resources for the phytoplankton, which most probably explain the maintenance of richness, diversity and production in these shallow lakes. 4. These results support the recently proposed framework of alternative stable states, providing experimental field evidence of the mechanisms resulting from the shifts between floating plants and phytoplankton dominance. © 2008 The Authors.
