摘要:We collected sediment from Lake Taihu in winter, placed it in BG-11 medium, and then observed the recruitment of phytoplankton to the water column as incubation temperature was increased stepwise in eight increments from 55°C at the start of incubation to 30°C after 70 days. Recruitment of chlorophytes and diatoms was observed above 9°C, but recruitment of cyanobacteria was not detected until 12.5°C. Subsequently, cyanobacteria established dominance above 19.5°C.
