摘要

This dissertation consists of two distinct chapters relating to ecological and water quality dynamics in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. In the first chapter, entitled: Effects of Nutrients, Consumers, and Physical Factors on Phytoplankton Biomass and Succession in a Shallow Hypereutrophic Lake, I present an examination of the seasonal and interannual patterns leading to dominance of large blooms of blue-green algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) and their relationship with Daphnia (D. pulicaria) in shallow, hypereutrophic Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon. Contrary to trophic cascade theory, which predicts that systems dominated by large Daphnia should have low phytoplankton biomass, Upper Klamath Lake experiences extremely high biomass levels of both large-bodied Daphnia and algae. While light and temperature play a large role in initiation of the spring bloom, it also appears that continued seasonal succession toward Aphanizomenon dominance in Upper Klamath Lake depends not only upon low total inorganic nitrogen to soluble reactive phosphorus ratios (low TIN: SRP), but also on high SRP concentrations, and adequate levels of TN during periods when SRP is low and/or reduced light conditions retard nitrogen fixation. Although periods of Aphanizomenon dominance in Upper Klamath Lake occurred at both high and low levels of D. pulicaria, Daphnia's clear suppression of more edible algal competitors, regeneration of TIN and SRP, and apparent enhancement of low TIN:SRP ratios, may contribute to both dominance and biomass of Aphanizomenon.; In the second chapter, entitled: Chlorophyll as a Predictor of Elevated pH in a Hypereutrophic Lake: Estimating the Probability of Exceeding Critical Values for Fish Success Using Parametric and Nonparametric Models, I present a series of models to predict the probability of exceeding critical values of photosynthetically-elevated pH from algal biomass (chlorophyll a), in Upper Klamath and Agency Lakes, Oregon. As opposed to standard regression models, these probabilistic models reexpress the inherent spatial and temporal variance in the independent and dependent variables as the probability or frequency of conditions likely to be experienced by fish. Both parametric and nonparametric models performed similarly, showing that a 45% reduction in the probability of exceeding pH 9.5 (a likely sublethal limit) could be realized by reducing chlorophyll a from 200 to 100 {dollar}rmmu g Lsp{lcub}-1{rcub}{dollar}. This suggests that significant benefits to fisheries could be attained through restoration efforts that do not require a complete eutrophication reversal.
