摘要

Abstract

To explore the size-dependent responses of zooplankton to submerged macrophyte restoration

we collected macrophyte

zooplankton and water quality samples seasonally from a subtropical shallow lake from 2010 to 2012. Special attention was given to changes in rotifers and crustaceans (cladocerans and copepods). The rotifers were grouped into three size classes (

200 μm

200 μm-400 μm

400 μm) to explore their size-related responses to macrophyte restoration. The results showed that during the restoration

the annual mean biomass and macrophyte coverage increased significantly from 0 to 637 g/m

and 0 to 27%

respectively. In response

the density and biomass of crustaceans and the crustacean-to-rotifer ratio increased significantly

while the rotifer density decreased significantly. Moreover

rotifers showed significant sizedependent responses to macrophyte restoration. Specially

rotifers

400 μm were significantly suppressed

while those ≥ 400 μm were significantly encouraged. Overall

the population of large-sized zooplankton tended to boom

while that of small rotifers was inhibited during macrophyte restoration. Redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed positive correlations between macrophytes and crustaceans

rotifers and COD or Chl-

but negative correlations between macrophytes and COD or Chl-

and between crustaceans and Chl-

. Moreover

the results indicate that increased predation on phytoplankton by large-sized zooplankton might be an important mechanism for macrophyte restoration during development of aquatic ecosystems

and that this mechanism played a very important role in promoting the formation of a clear-water state in subtropical shallow lakes.
