Nutrient recycling in aquatic systems
- where is it happening?

3
-sediments not in contact with pelagic zone
- most sediments are anaerobic - reactions are slower
Pelagic zone

Cool (dense) water
Warm (low density) water
Water below the thermocline may becomedepleted of oxygen in summertime
Why?

Low oxygen in facilitates recycling ofsome nutrients (P and Fe)
When oxygen is present, P and Fe combine toform insoluble compounds which remain in the sediments
When oxygen is absent, P and Fe are solubleand remain in water – can be mixed upinto pelagic zone and taken up by algae

Which nutrient is most limiting to aquaticsystems??
What do I mean by most limiting?
![Page 10: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

P - limitation
N-limitation
LIS
Housatonic
Where does P-limitation switchto N-limitation?
How will changes in nutrient loading affect species composition and frequency of algal blooms?
Goal to decreaseN input to LIS by55% in 15 years

Nutrient recycling
- Terrestrial systems- soil
- weathering of rock- decomposition of organic matter
- Aquatic systems- sediments and deep water
- reactions slow (anaerobic)- decomposition not near uptake

Outline
Introduction
How are populations defined and measured?
How do populations grow?
How does population size change through time and space?
![Page 17: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Population - group of organisms of the same
species that live in a particular area
Population ecology - focus is on changes in the
number of individuals over time
![Page 18: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Questions asked by population ecologists
What limits population growth?
What causes variability in population size?
How do population in different geographic areas interact?
How does the number of adults in a population change relative to the number of juveniles?

Subpopulation – subsets of the
population that are separated and
have limited exchange
How much movement is there between
subpopulations?
![Page 23: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Humans like to manage population size of other organisms
Examples????
In order to manage population size, have to be able to measure it and have to be able to understand what makes population change in size
![Page 26: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

How are populations measured?
1. What do we measure?
2. How?
![Page 27: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
What do we measure?
Total population size = number of individuals
How they are arranged in space
How many are in each age or size class
![Page 28: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Population structure – the density and
spacing of individuals within a habitat
and the proportions of individuals
within each age or size class
![Page 29: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Total population size = number of individuals
= density x area
![Page 30: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Mark – recapture methods
1. Catch some individuals and mark them
2. Put them back and let them mix
3. Recapture some individuals and count how many are marked
4. Ratio of marked to unmarked gives an estimate of population size
![Page 31: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
N = total number of individuals
M = number of marked individuals
n = number of recaptured individuals
x = the number of recaptured individuals who were marked
N = nM/x
![Page 32: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Mark – recapture methods
Assumptions
1. Population size is the same on the days you marked and recaptured.
2. All individuals have equal probability of being captured.
3. Marked individuals were well mixed before recapture.

33
What do we measure?
Total population size = number of indivduals
How they are arranged in space
How many are in each age or size class
![Page 34: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Growth = births – deaths + immigration – emigration
When calculating growth rate, usually just seeing change in numbers over time
![Page 38: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Populations grow by multiplication ratherthan by addition
Just like interest in the bank
![Page 39: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Exponential growth
-new individuals are added (born) to population continuously
r = per capita growth rate = contribution of each individual in population
![Page 41: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

dN/dt = rN
Rate at which individuals are added = growth
rate on a per individual basis x population size
= derivative of exponential equation
= slope of line
Exponential growth

Exponential vs. Geometric Growth
Exponential – continuous reproduction- growth is smooth curve
Geometric – discrete breeding seasons- calculate growth at discrete
intervals
![Page 44: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
Geometric growth
Growth rate = = population size at one time point/ size
at previous time point
N (t+1) = N(t)
N(t) = N(0) t
![Page 45: Class in Library Multimedia Room](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813c0e550346895da58142/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Geometric growth: N(t) = N(0) t
Exponential growth: N(t) = N(0) ert
