Hydrology-driven seasonal changes in the phytoplankton of a subtropical river (Riacho Formosa, Argentina).

The Riacho Formosa is one of many autochtonous watercourses running along the subtropical region of the Wet Chaco Plains and draining into Paraguay River. Their typical hydrological cycle is characterized by a late winter low phase and a high phase throughout the warm season. As part of a baseline c...

Phytoplankton ecology Formosa subtropical rivers hydrological seasonality The Riacho Formosa is one of many autochtonous watercourses running along the subtropical region of the Wet Chaco Plains and draining into Paraguay River. Their typical hydrological cycle is characterized by a late winter low phase and a high phase throughout the warm season. As part of a baseline characterization, the composition and structure of the phytoplankton were studied in relation to river depth, water temperature, pH, conductivity and transparency through 4 seasonal samplings between June 2015 and March 2016. A rich phytoplankton community (338 taxa) was revealed in this study. A few species of Cryptophyceae and Euglenophyceae dominated the community, especially during low waters. A cluster analysis showed that community compositions were more dissimilar over time than along the watercourse, and were spatially more homogeneous during high waters. A canonical correspondence analysis showed that environmental features significantly explained 42.6% of the total variance of species data (p= 0.004). We conclude that phytoplankton responds to hydrological changes through a high species turnover, with dominance peaks of euryhaline, shadow adapted and organic matter exploiting taxa during low waters. Cambios estacionales dependientes de la hidrología en el fitoplancton de un río subtropical (Riacho Formosa, Argentina). El Riacho Formosa es uno de los numerosos cursos de agua que surcan el Chaco Húmedo y desembocan en el río Paraguay. El ciclo hidrológico típico de estos ríos se caracteriza por un estiaje al final del invierno y una creciente durante la época cálida. En una caracterización de línea de base se estudiaron la composición y estructura del fitoplancton en relación con la profundidad, temperatura del agua, pH, conductividad y transparencia mediante 4 muestreos estacionales, entre junio de 2015 y marzo de 2016. La comunidad del fitoplancton fue rica (338 taxa) y dominada por pocas especies de Cryptophyceae y Euglenophyceae, especialmente en aguas bajas. Un análisis de agrupamiento reveló una mayor variación temporal en la composición taxonómica que a lo largo del río, y una mayor homogeneidad espacial durante la fase de inundación. Según un análisis de correspondencia canónica, las variables ambientales explicaron el 42,6% de la varianza total (p= 0,004). Concluimos que el fitoplancton responde a los cambios hidrológicos a través de una alta tasa de recambio de especies, con dominancia de taxones eurihalinos, adaptados a la sombra y consumidores de materia orgánica durante el estiaje.
