摘要

In the past four decades, consistent and coordinated management actions led to the recovery of Tampa Bay, FL (USA) an estuary that was declared dead in the 1970s. An exception to this success story is Old Tampa Bay, the northernmost subestuary of the system. Compared to the other bay segments, Old Tampa Bay is characterized by poorer water quality and spring and summer blooms of cyanobacteria, pico-plankton, diatoms, and the saxitoxin-producing dinoflagellate Pyrodinium bahamense. Together, these blooms contribute to light attenuation and lagging recovery of seagrass beds. Yet, studies of phytoplankton dynamics within Old Tampa Bay have been limited both in number and in their spatiotemporal resolution. In this, study, we used field sampling and continuous monitoring to (1) characterize temporal and spatial variability in phytoplankton biomass and community composition and (2) identify key drivers of the different phytoplankton blooms in Old Tampa Bay. Overall, temporal variability in phytoplankton biomass (using chlorophyll a as a proxy) and community composition surpassed spatial variability of these parameters. We found a base community of small diatoms and flagellates, as well as certain dinoflagellates, that persisted year round in the system. Seasonally, freshwater runoff stimulated phytoplankton growth, specifically that of chlorophytes, cyanobacteria and other dinoflagellates consistent with predictions based on ecological theory. On shorter time scales, salinity, visibility, and freshwater inflows were important predictors of phytoplankton biomass. With respect to P. bahamense, environmental drivers including salinity, temperature and dissolved nutrient concentrations explained 24% of the variability in cell abundance, indicating missing explanatory parameters in our study for this taxon, such as cyst density and location of cyst beds. Spatially, we found differences in community trajectories across north south and west east gradients, with the northernmost sampling station being the most unique in the region. This work contributes to the knowledge of phytoplankton biomass and community composition in Tampa Bay by generating spatially and temporally rich phytoplankton community and environmental data for the Old Tampa Bay subestuary. Moreover, it enhances our understanding of bloom drivers and provides recommendations for ecosystem management. Specifically, our findings support continued nutrient reduction measures as a way to mitigate seasonal blooms of diatoms, cyanobacteria and chlorophytes, but not necessarily blooms of P. bahamense. Prediction and mitigation of P. bahamnese blooms should incorporate first order drivers such as cyst location and abundance. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
