chrysophytes

Similarly, in Kekerturnak Lake (Baffin Island, 68° N), planktonic chrysophytes increased greatly in the upper sediments dated to the latter part of the 20th century.

Historical changes in freshwater ecosystems in the Arctic 2009

Diatoms, chrysophytes, and other paleolimnological indicators are also preserved in peatlands and may be used to reconstruct peatland development and related water balance and climatic driving forces [24].

Historical changes in freshwater ecosystems in the Arctic 2009

Primary producers in Toolik Lake consist of 136 species of phytoplankton, dominated by chrysophytes with dinoflagellates and cryptophytes, as well as diatoms.

Effects of climate change on hydro-ecology of contributing basins in the Arctic 2009

Dinoflagellates, chrysophytes, cryptophytes, and green flagellates are common in arctic waters.

General description of the Arctic biota 2009

Phytoplankton biomass and densities are low [41], consisting predominantly of chrysophytes and diatoms.

Effects of climate change on general hydro-ecology in the Arctic 2009

During this period of warming, diatom communities changed from benthic – periphytic to pelagic, Cladocera increased in abundance, and chrysophytes became less numerous.

Effects of climate change on general hydro-ecology in the Arctic 2009

With open water, the algal community shifts from a predominance of benthic diatoms to planktonic forms, and chrysophytes begin to occur.
