摘要

Abstract

Relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function is one of the core issues in ecological research. Phytoplankton

as the main producer of aquatic ecosystem

its diversity

productivity

and community stability are of great significance to reveal ecosystem function. There are significant differences in hydrodynamics

water retention time

and phytoplankton community structure between river-type reservoir and newly built lake-type reservoir. The comparative analysis of phytoplankton community stability between the two types of reservoir has not been reported. Jiuquwan Reservoir (river-type) and Taihu Reservoir (laketype)

the two reservoirs in the Dongjiang River source area of Zhujiang (Pearl) River Basin

were selected for comparison in terms of multi-year operation vs. new impoundment

river-type vs. lake-type

and shallow water vs. sub-deep water reservoirs. Samples were collected in dry season (December 2019)

normal season (March 2020)

and wet season (August 2020)

on which the phytoplankton diversity and productivity of the two reservoirs

and the relationship and difference of community stability were examined. Results show that (1) the number of phytoplankton species in Jiuquwan Reservoir decreased comparing that before algal bloom and the restoration treatment

while that in Taihu Reservoir increased compared with that before the impoundment of the reservoir. There was no significant difference in functional groups and species number between the two reservoirs (

0.05); (2) the biological stability

diversity

productivity

and resource utilization efficiency of newly built lake-type reservoir were higher than those of multi-year river-type reservoir. In addition

the utilization efficiency of phytoplankton resources was the highest in wet season in both reservoirs. The increases in biodiversity

richness

and evenness promoted the stability of the community

while increases in productivity and resource utilization efficiency weakened the stability of the community; (3) community stability was affected by both biotic and abiotic factors

and hydrodynamic index was the main factor. This study is helpful to understand the relationship and differences in phytoplankton diversity

productivity and community stability in different types of reservoirs

and provides a guidance for maintaining the stability of reservoir water ecosystem and protecting the biodiversity. The relationships between phytoplankton diversity

productivity

and community stability will be investigated in depth

for which a long-term observation will be conducted on the impact of environmental factors and diversity on the local biostability in different types of reservoirs.
