  text: Diatoms often dominate temperate lakes and rivers in spring, when increasing
    temperature and daylength coincide with decreasing silicate concentrations. Since
    interactions between these factors may be important, we cultivated Stephanodiscus
    minutulus and Nitzschia acicularis (freshwater diatoms) under silicon limitation
    at different temperatures and photoperiods in continuous and batch culture. The
    Monod parameters of Si-limited growth indicated that S. minutulus should be superior
    under Si limitation. The type of interaction between silicate, temperature and
    photoperiod differed between species and indicated that the advantage of S. minutulus
    increases under low temperatures and photoperiods. Competition experiments in
    semicontinuous culture confirmed these predictions and were described accurately
    with a model of factor interactions. Multiple regression analysis of field data
    from a shallow eutrophic lake showed that dissolved silicate (DSi), temperature,
    photoperiod and total phosphorus (TP) were the most important predictors of spring
    centric diatom biovolume, where lower temperatures and photoperiods favour this
    group and higher biovolumes coincide with DSi depletion and higher TP. Pennate
    diatoms depended more on light, winter population size and grazer abundance. Conditions
    in situ suggested that factor interactions play a role during spring under strong
    Si limitation. We propose that the type of interaction reflects specific niche
    adaptation. Understanding interactions between physical factors and nutrients
    will increase our understanding of phytoplankton diversity and predictive accuracy
    of phytoplankton dynamics including combined effects of climate and trophic change.

  text: Global climate change alters the relationship between temperature and light
    in aquatic ecosystems, which is expected to affect the success of different phytoplankton
    species. To examine this, the interactions between temperature, photoperiod and
    light exposure (LE) (integral daily light supply) on specific growth rates were
    analysed for Limnothrix redekei, Planktothrix agardhii (cyanobacteria), Nitzschia
    acicularis and Stephanodiscus minutulus (diatoms). A model of factor interactions
    was developed based on new (P. agardhii and St. minutulus) and previously published
    laboratory studies. It describes the measured data with high precision. Temperature
    and photoperiod affect the parameters of the light-growth response curve differently,
    but these effects are the same for all species. The link between functions for
    temperature and photoperiod is more species-specific. Using meteorological data,
    the model developed here was used to study the interplay of these factors during
    a spring bloom in Lake Müggelsee (Berlin). It was found that while all three factors
    influenced phytoplankton growth, temperature and photoperiod were more important
    than LE. Both the intensities of the factors and the interactions between them
    influenced each species to a different degree. The results may help improve our
    understanding and ability to predict shifts in phytoplankton communities caused
    by weather patterns and climate change.
