Phytoplankton Community Structure and Related Water Quality after Big Flood Event 2017: A Case Study of Nong Han Lake, Sakon Nakhon Province
Abstract
Study on the community structure of phytoplankton after flood event 2017 in Nong Han Lake, Sakon Nakhon Province to realize the influence of hydrological changes on phytoplankton community in lentic waters. The results showed that the highest taxa of the phytoplankton were found in 83 genera in December 2018 and the lowest was found in 59 genera in November 2017. During the flooding period in June 2017, the lowest density of phytoplankton was found in the range of 314-6,300 (average 1,531) cell Liter-1 and the main population was changed by adaptable dinoflagellates replacing green algae. Water quality in each season affected the density of phytoplankton. Total suspended solids (TSS) were significantly negative correlated with green algae (p<0.01). The ecological index showed that phytoplankton in Nong Han Lake is still diverse and can be an important primary productivity of the lake in all seasons.
