- W629131738 abstract "Diatoms epiphytic on Phragmites austmUs (Cav.) Trin. ex Steaded stems were collected from a single clone at the .southern end of Provo Bay, Utah Lake, Utah. Diatom populations from both living and dead stem sections were analyzed. Species diversity in each .sample was high, indicating that the stems provide a relatively stable habitat for diatom epiphytes. Of the 23 genera found, only Gomphonema and avicula showed significant trends toward stem preference. The diatoms in this study support the current view that Utah Lake is a slightly saline, eutrophic system. The occurrence of diatom assemblages as epiphytes on httoral, emergent macrophytes is well documented (Godward 1934, 1937, Knud.son 1957, Prow.se 1959). Likewise, the impact of such epiphytes on primary productivity and community trophic structure has been examined in several estuarine environments (Mclntire et al. 1971, Stowe et al. 1971, and Main et al. 1974), but has been largely ignored in freshwater systems (Wetzel 1964). Tlie epiphytic diatom communities attached to emergents inevitably play a role in the overall productivity of lakes and estuaries. They also contribute to regulation of the overall metabolism of such waters by altering the amount and quality of allochthonous organics entering the lake by acting as physical and metabolic traps or filters. The attached diatom flora also serves as an autochthonous source of particulate organic and dissolved organic matter that is readily available to pelagic animals. The degree of influence of these epiphytic organisms on the productivity of standing waters has rarely been determined. However, Allen (1971) estimated that up to 31.3 percent of the total littoral production could be attributed to epiphtyic algae, with up to 21.4 percent of the total lake production being attributable to such attached communities. In addition, a comparison between phytoplankton and epiphyte production demonstrated that the latter was equivalent to 75 percent of the phytoplankton production over the annual period (Allen 1971). Even though epiphytic commimities have been demonstrated to be important, the distribution patterns of such assemblages on the basis of variation in ho.st species and host substrate conditions have received little attention. Likewise, the complex physiological relationship between the host macrophyte and the attached diatom species has received less attention than warranted (Wetzel 1964, 1965, 1969b, Allen 1971, Hough et al. 1975). The impact of this relationship is fimdamental to understanding the basic distribution patterns of epiphytes not only on different macrophyte host species but also on members of the same species at different levels of senescence. The purpose of this study is to illuminate distribution patterns of diatom epiphytes on living and dead specimens of a single macrophyte host {Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steaded) in Utah Lake, Utah. The data from this study will be used as a baseline for extended research in Utah Lake on epiphyte distribution patterns and epiphyte impact on lake productivity and trophic structure." @default.
