| 英文摘要 | Simple Summary The variability of chlorophyll a yields per unit nitrogen (Chla/TN), or phosphorus (Chla/TP) and its influencing factors were evaluated in eutrophic shallow Lake Taihu, China. The results indicated warming and longer sunshine hours promoted Chla/TN and Chla/TP in winter months from 2005 to 2017, which may cause severer blooms in winter and spring. However, a more stable water column due to atmospheric stilling and water level elevation mainly led to the increasing Chla/TN and Chla/TP in remaining months from 2005 to 2017, allowing algae to grow better. The results also indicated that water stability promotes algal growth mainly due to improved light availability. As atmospheric stilling is an aspect of global climate changes, this study would affect future algal bloom mitigation efforts in shallow lakes worldwide. Algal blooms are environmental challenges confronting lakes worldwide and are significantly influenced by chlorophyll a yields per unit phosphorus (Chla/TP), or nitrogen (Chla/TN). Here, the influence of inter-annual hydrometeorological variations on Chla/TP and Chla/TN were evaluated in eutrophic shallow Lake Taihu, China. Our results demonstrated significant increases (p < 0.001) in both Chla/TN and Chla/TP from 2005 to 2017, and increased Chla yields during the winter months were mainly correlated with higher water temperature and longer sunshine hours, which may cause severer blooms in winter and spring. In remaining months from 2005 to 2017, typical associations between atmospheric stilling (or water level elevation) and higher Chla yields were observed. The results also indicate that atmospheric stilling and water level elevation significantly (p < 0.001) decreased background turbidity and promoted buoyant cyanobacterial biomass, alleviating phytoplankton light limitation. Given the subtropical location, eutrophic status, and high background turbidity of Lake Taihu, light may be the critical limiting factor for summer phytoplankton growth; thus, improved light availability would promote Chla yields until self-shading caused further light limitations. If the mechanism is general, promoting the effect of atmospheric stilling on annual peak Chla in shallow lakes may be greatly underestimated, and our finding will affect future bloom mitigation efforts in such systems. |
