Phytoplankton Community of a Boron Mine Waste Storage Reservoir

This study aimed to assess the composition, seasonality, and abundance of the phytoplankton community of a Boron (B) mine effluent storage reservoir, Çamköy Reservoir, Balıkesir, Turkey. For this purpose, phytoplankton and certain physicochemical parameters were sampled seasonally between April 2015 and January 2016. B concentrations ranged from 554 mg L-1 to 689 mg L-1 . A total of 39 taxa were identified during the study. The percent composition for each phytoplankton group was as follows: Bacillariophyta 67%, Chlorophyta 10%, Cyanobacteria 8%, Euglenophyta 8%, Mioza 5%, and Charophyta 2%. In summer 2015 no phytoplankton was detected in the samples and the excessive B concentrations (above 600 mg L-1 ) in the reservoir seem to be the reason for the lack of phytoplankton in the summer samples. The most common taxa were Navicula digitoradiata (Bacillariophyta), Surirella ovata (Bacillariophyta), and Nitzschia amphibia (Bacillariophyta). The reservoir had a low number of phytoplankton taxa and abundance compared with the natural lakes probably due to the excessive B levels. The phytoplankton community of the reservoir was composed of taxa that preferred alkaline waters.

Bir Bor Madeni Atık Depolama Barajının Fitoplankton Kommunitesi

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir Bor (B) madeni atık toplama barajı, (Çamköy Barajı, Balıkesir) fitoplanktonun kompozisyonu, mevsimselliği ve bolluğunu tespit etmektir. Bu amaçla, Nisan 2015 ile Ocak 2016 tarihleri arasında fitoplankton ve bazı fizikokimyasal parametreler için örnekleme yapılmıştır. B derişimi 554 mg L-1 ile 689 mg L-1 arasında değişmiştir. Çalışma süresince toplamda 39 takson tespit edilmiştir. Fitoplankton kompozisyonu, %67 Bacillariophyta, %10 Chlorophyta, %8 Cyanobacteria, %8 Euglenophyta , %5 Mioza ve %2 Charophyta ‘dan oluşmuştur. 2015 yaz döneminde hiç fitoplankton türü tespit edilmemiş olup bunun sebebinin yüksek B seviyelerinin (600 mg L-1 üzeri) olabileceği tahmin edilmiştir. Tespit edilen en yaygın taksonlar, Navicula digitoradiata (Bacillariophyta), Surirella ovata (Bacillariophyta) ve Nitzschia amphibia (Bacillariophyta) olmuştur. Yüksek Bor içeriğinden dolayı, doğal göllere nazaran gölette daha düşük fitoplankton takson sayısı ve yoğunluğu tespit edilmiştir. Göletin fitoplankton kommunitesi alkali suları tercih eden taksonlardan oluşmuştur.
