Factors related to variance of residuals in chlorophyll — total phosphorus regressions in lakes and reservoirs of Argentina

  • Conference paper
Biomanipulation Tool for Water Management

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 61))

Abstract

Data from an extensive mid-summer survey of Argentinian lakes and reservoirs were used to study the effects of variability in internal processes on the residual variance in chlorophyll — total phosphorus (CHL-TP) regression models. These effects were compared with those related to the external characteristics of lakes, e.g. climate, morphometry and nutrient status. Zooplanktivorous fish biomass, mean macrozooplankton size, dissolved oxygen at the sediment-water interface, and submersed macrophyte development, were shown to be significant in explaining residual variance in CHL-TP for Argentinian lakes and reservoirs. The results suggest that those variables have discontinuous or threshold effects on CHL-TP residuals among lakes. Significant differences were also shown between CHL-TP regressions for lakes with and without zooplanktivorous fish and for lakes with small or large macrozooplankton. Lakes with zooplanktivorous fish, small body size macrozooplankton, and very low hypolimnetic oxygen also have higher chlorophyll levels than predicted from CHL-TP regression models.
