摘要

Abstract

Phytoplankton and environmental variables were measured monthly from July 2009 to August 2011 in the Maixi River from the estuary to Baihua Reservoir in the Maotiao River catchment

southwestern China

to understand phytoplankton community structure and environmental factors. The relationship between phytoplankton community structure and environmental factors including hydrological

meteorological

physical

and chemical variables were explored using multivariate analysis. A total of 81 taxa of phytoplankton were identified

which were mainly composed of chlorophyta

bacillariophyta

and cyanobacteria. The phytoplankton community was dominated by Pseudanabaena limnetica during summer and fall and by Cyclotella meneghiniana during winter and spring. The abundance of phytoplankton ranged from 0.24×104 cells/L to 33.45×106 cells/L

with the minimum occurring during February 2010 and the maximum during July 2009. The phytoplankton community was dominated mainly by cyanobacteria from April to September

and by bacillariophyta and pyrrophyta from October to March. Canonical correspondence analysis showed that temperature

pH values

and orthophosphate were the most important driving factors regulating the composition and dynamics of the phytoplankton community in the estuary. Cyanobacteria and euglenophyta abundance and biomass were affected mainly by temperature and pH values

while most chlorophyta and bacillariophyta were influenced by the concentrations of nutrients.
