摘要

Many of our global freshwater resources are currently impaired or threatened by impoundments, eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms as a result of increasing population, resource use, and climate change. To better protect, manage, and restore our freshwaters, it is essential to study the ecological effects of impoundments and impairments (e.g. nutrient enrichment, algal blooms, etc.). The Klamath River, located in Oregon/California of the Pacific Northwestern U.S.A., is highly impounded (six reservoirs), hypereutrophic, and experiences large seasonal algal blooms. Dam removal is currently being considered on the Klamath River, and therefore an understanding of current conditions is critical to making predictions under alternative management scenarios. The objective of this work was to examine how reservoirs, river reaches, and algal blooms in the Klamath River affect spatiotemporal patterns in water quality, biogeochemical processing, and the fate and transport of nutrients and organic matter. These objectives were addressed by studies conducted for two years along 184 km of the Klamath River. The summer algal bloom had major effects on water quality conditions and available nutrients (e.g. low dissolved oxygen, high pH, nutrient addition via N-fixation, labile organic matter), and was the major driver of biogeochemical processes within the upper portion of the river that is highly impacted by five reservoirs. The role of reservoirs in propagating effects of the algal bloom to downstream reaches shifted depending on the reservoir location and time of year. Reservoirs served as sources or sinks of materials during different times of the year. The uppermost reservoirs were more strongly influenced by algal blooms and tended to export higher nutrients and algal-derived organic matter during and following the bloom, whereas downstream reservoirs tended to trap and process these materials, resulting in export of lower nutrient water comprised of more highly degraded, recalcitrant organic matter. Spatial differences in water quality, nutrients, and organic matter along the longitudinal gradient of the river were greater during and following the algal bloom, and reduced during months of higher flow and reduced biological activity. Linked reservoirs and river reaches were important in the cycling and export of nutrients, particularly nitrogen. Nitrogen cycling in the upper Klamath River was rapid; high amounts of algal nitrogen-fixation, followed by mineralization and export of algal-based nitrogen to downstream river reaches produced some of the most rapid nitrification rates observed in large river systems. These processes appear to be highly active and dynamic over a variety of temporal scales, and likely have strong implications for the structure and function of local and downstream aquatic communities. This study illuminates the importance of algal blooms and the role of impoundments in driving water quality, nutrient, and organic matter dynamics and emphasizes the importance in understanding how these effects evolve over space and time, especially in the context of predicting alternative management and restoration scenarios (i.e. dam removal).
