  • Change of Phytoplankton Composition and Biodiversity in Lake Sempach Before and During Restoration

Change of phytoplankton composition and biodiversity in Lake Sempach before and during restoration Hansrudolf Bürgi1 & Pius Stadelmann2 1Department of Limnology, ETH/EAWAG, CH-8600 Dübendorf, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] 2Agency of Environment Protection of Canton Lucerne, CH-6002 Lucerne, Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Key words: lake restoration, biodiversity, evenness, phytoplankton, long-term development Abstract Lake Sempach, located in the central part of Switzerland, has a surface area of 14 km2, a maximum depth of 87 m and a water residence time of 15 years. Restoration measures to correct historic eutrophication, including artificial mixing and oxygenation of the hypolimnion, were implemented in 1984. By means of the combination of external and internal load reductions, total phosphorus concentrations decreased in the period 1984–2000 from 160 to 42 mg P m−3. Starting from 1997, hypolimnion oxygenation with pure oxygen was replaced by aeration with fine air bubbles. The reaction of the plankton has been investigated as part of a long-term monitoring program. Taxa numbers, evenness and biodiversity of phytoplankton increased significantly during the last 15 years, concomitant with a marked decline of phosphorus concentration in the lake. Seasonal development of phytoplankton seems to be strongly influenced by the artificial mixing during winter and spring and by changes of the trophic state. Dominance of nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria (Aphanizomenon sp.), causing a severe fish kill in 1984, has been correlated with lower N/P-ratio in the epilimnion.
