DinÃmica de fitoplÃncton e variÃveis limnolÃgicas no reservatÃrio de General Sampaio, semiÃrido do Cearà / Phytoplankton dinamics and limnological variables in General Sampaio reservoir, semiarid of Ceara

Francisco Ãtalo Barbosa Chaves 21 February 2013 (has links)
FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / FlutuaÃÃes temporais como as originadas de variaÃÃes sazonais e perturbaÃÃes climÃticas, possuem funÃÃo importante na manutenÃÃo da estrutura e da diversidade nas comunidades biÃticas. A HipÃtese do DistÃrbio IntermediÃrio explica que as caracterÃsticas gerais das comunidades e a dinÃmica das populaÃÃes, especialmente a riqueza de espÃcies, pode sofrer alteraÃÃes diante de distÃrbios nos ecossistemas. Ambientes aquÃticos estÃo sujeitos à variabilidade temporal elevada, como resultado de interaÃÃes entre parÃmetros fÃsicos, quÃmicos e biolÃgicos. Consequentemente, a composiÃÃo de espÃcies e abundÃncia relativa das populaÃÃes e comunidades està sujeita a rearranjos frequentes. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as condiÃÃes trÃficas do reservatÃrio de General Sampaio, que està situado no estado do CearÃ, semiÃrido do Brasil. Utilizou o Ãndice de Estado TrÃfico (TSI) proposto por Toledo et al. (1983), e o relacionou à abundÃncia relativa, à dominÃncia de fitoplÃncton e à variaÃÃo anual da pluviosidade. Foram obtidos dados climÃticos, fÃsicos, para a transparÃncia do disco de Secchi, fÃsforo total, ortofosfato, nitrato, nitrito, amÃnia, nitrogÃnio total e clorofila a, em paralelo com a amostragem de fitoplÃncton para identificaÃÃo e cÃlculo de contagem do nÃmero de indivÃduos componentes das espÃcies. Houve variabilidade estacional das variÃveis que foram analisadas para os perÃodos climÃticos chuvoso e seco. CondiÃÃes trÃficas indicaram a presenÃa de condiÃÃes oligotrÃficas à eutrÃficas durante o perÃodo analisado. Esta variaÃÃo promoveu condiÃÃes favorÃveis para um padrÃo de dominÃncia do grupo Chlorophyceae, durante as estaÃÃes chuvosas, e de cianofÃceas durante as estaÃÃes secas. Assim, pode-se argumentar que estado trÃfico e abundÃncia relativa das espÃcies de fitoplÃncton estÃo relacionados com as flutuaÃÃes sazonais na hidrologia do sistema deste reservatÃrio, que reflete uma caracterÃstica exclusiva de regiÃes semiÃridas. / Temporal fluctuations as those derived from seasonal variations and disturbances, may have an important role in maintaining the structure and diversity of biota. The Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis states that the general characteristics of communities and population dynamics, especially the species richness may change the face of disturbances in ecosystems. Aquatic environments are subject to high temporal variability as a result of interactions between physical, chemical, and biological parameters. Consequently, species composition and relative abundance of populations and communities are subject to frequent rearrangements. This study aimed to evaluate the trophic conditions of the General Sampaio Reservoir, which is situated in the semiarid Cearà State of Brazil. We used the Trophic State Index (TSI) proposed by Toledo et al. (1983), and related it to species diversity, the relative abundance of phytoplankton and the variation of annual rainfall. We obtained climatic and physics data, Secchi disc transparency, total phosphorus, orthophosphate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, total nitrogen and chlorophyll a, in parallel to the sampling of phytoplankton for species identification and the calculation of the number counts. There was seasonal variability in the variables that were analyzed for the rainy versus dry climatic periods. Trophic conditions indicated the presence of oligotrophic to eutrophic conditions during the research in this reservoir. This variation facilitated favorable conditions for Chlorophyceae dominance during the rains periods, and for cyanobacteria dominance during the dry periods. Thus, it may be argued that the trophic state and relative abundance of phytoplankton is related to seasonal fluctuations in the hydrology of the reservoir system, which reflects a unique feature of semiarid regions.
