Note:

This research is divided into two main parts. Chapters 1 and 2 address the effect of thermal addition on the breakdown of Boxelder leaves (Acer negundo) in insitu and artificial stream studies. In both studies the rates for the decline in penetrance values decreased significantly in the thermally influenced treatments. Reduction in mass-loss rate coefficients was significant in the in-situ study, but not in the artificial streams. This result was due to differences in flow and macroinvertebrate colonization. Chapters 3 and 4 address the development of a methodology for testing 24-48 hr old juvenile Asiatic clams (Corbicula fluminea) to sediments in 10-day bioassays. These organisms had acceptable survivorship in the controls (>70%), excellent recovery of all exposed organisms (97.5%) and were sensitive to copper-spiked sediments. Comparitive sensitivity of this age class demonstrated them to be equally or more sensitive than other commonly used sediment test organisms including Chironomus tentans, Daphnia magna and Hyalella azteca for survival and growth endpoints in 10-day exposures. Survival and growth effects for Corbicula juveniles were seen at 25 ppb copper in the sediment. / Master of Science

Evidence is presented to support the conclusions that (1) North Lake reservoir is less productive, contains lower standing crops of phytoplankton and total organic carbon than other local reservoirs; (2) that neither the phytoplankton nor their instantaneously-determined primary productivity was detrimentally affected by the power plant entrainment and (3) that the effect of the power plant is to cause nutrient limitation of the phytoplankton primary productivity by long-term, subtle, thermally-linked nutrient precipitation activities.
