Benthic-pelagic coupling and spatial dynamics of nutrient availability for benthic nuisance algae in the rocky nearshore zone of eastern Lake Erie
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-03)Nuisance Cladophora growth in the nearshore during the summer growing season tends to imply nutrient, particularly phosphorus (P), enrichment in the benthos, especially where there is adequate light and hard substrate that ... -
Cladophora growth in littoral environments of large lakes: Spatial complexity and ecological interpretations
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-19)This thesis brings together a variety of new and evolving technologies in an attempt to characterize spatial variability in highly complex near shore areas of the Laurentian Great Lakes in order to provide methods and ... -
Molecular Phylogeography and Species Discrimination of Freshwater <em>Cladophora</em> (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta) in North America
(University of Waterloo, 2006)<em>Cladophora</em> is a widespread freshwater filamentous cholorophyte genus and is frequently observed in eutrophic waters where it can produce large nuisance blooms. These blooms can have direct impacts on water ... -
Nutrient sources for excessive growth of benthic algae in Lake Ontario as inferred by the distribution of SRP
(University of Waterloo, 2010-11-30)Total phosphorus concentrations in the open waters of the Laurentian Great Lakes are currently at or beneath target concentrations set by international agreement. Despite the success of phosphorus loading controls in ... -
Organic Tissue Stoichiometry of Cladophora glomerata and its Relation to Coastal Land Use in the Laurentian Great Lakes
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-04)The relationships between C:N:P (carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) stoichiometry of Cladophora glomerata and land use characteristics in selected nearshore areas of the lower Laurentian Great Lakes were determined during ...
