摘要

Abstract

We studied the depth distribution of periphyton

growing on inundated dead trees in Kenyir Lake

Malaysia in June 1995. The algal floral composition and structure manifested changes down the depth gradient in terms of species richness

abundance

diversity and cell density. In regression analysis

all these algal attributes were negatively correlated with the depth gradients at P<0.05. In terms of species richness

the bacillariophytes showed dominance over the cyanophytes and chlorophytes; whereas with respect to standing crop

the cyanophytes showed dominance over the bacillariophytes and chlorophytes. The chlorophyll a was higher at the mid and bottom-depths than the surface-depth in both the downstream and upstream sites

which showed that vertical productivity or biomass accumulation was greater in low light irradiance. The product-moment correlation analysis showed that conductivity

turbidity

dissolved oxygen

reactive phosphate and ammonium-nitrogen were highly correlated with the algal assemblage data. However

photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) showed poor correlation with the community data. These observations have cast some light on the autoecological characteristics

habitat preferences and environmental responses of tropical periphytic communities.
