Abiotic variability in a microtidal lagoon? do irregular fluctuations cause stable succession trends?

3rd International Conference on Oceanography

Abstract
Variability of abiotic factors on different time scales? ranging from milliseconds to decades at least ? is something organisms are well adapted to. However, most of this variability is regular, following distinct rhythms as e.g. seasonal or circadian ones. The situation becomes quite different in case of microtidal systems, where pronounced irregular variability diminishes species diversity to an extent that an anthropogenic pressure becomes almost undetectable. In contrast to ?catastrophic events?, this kind of abiotic variability does not reset the system, but seems to prevents the installation of saturated ecosystems. In this presentation the effects of eutrophication and subsequent remesotrophication of such a microtidal system will be shown, followed by an analysis of the mechanisms behind the changes in species as well as functional group composition observed. The results of this analysis will be discussed with respect to their consequences for environmental status monitoring; a proposed classification system, which overcomes the restrictions set by abiotic variability, will be presented at the end. The talk presents results of an ongoing common project on sustainable development of coastal zones ?BACOSA?, funded by the German ministry of education and research (BMBF).
