Oxygen in Aquatic SystemsOxygen in Aquatic Systems
Oxygen is needed by aquatic organisms < 3 mg/L is lethal to fish)
Oxygen solubility in water decreases with increasing water temperature (fig 2.4 )
At room temperature, water contains about 8.5 mg/L DO
Sources of oxygen: atmosphere, plants and algaeRemoval of oxygen: respiration by plants, animals and bacteria, decomposition

Amount of light hitting water’s surface depends on angle of sun & conditions:
• latitude• season• time of day• cloud cover
Light that hits surface is:• reflected• scattered• absorbed
attenuation

Reflection
• angle (season, time of day, latitude)• meteorological conditions• wave action• ice and snow

Direct solar radiation (QS)
Absorption
Indirect solar radiation (QH)Reflection (QR)
Upward scattering (QU)
(QW)
(QW) = long-wave radiation radiated back into the atmosphere
(QA)
(QA) = long-wave radiation returning from the atmosphere
Net Radiation Surplus = QS + QH + QA – QR – QU - QW
At night: Net Radiation Surplus = QA - QW

Light attenuation (or extinction)
decreases as a fixed proportion of light remaining at each depth
attenuation coefficient (k)
ln (light at surface) - ln (light at depth z)

Each wavelength of light has its own attenuation coefficient (k)
Since we are concerned with photosynthesis, we generally talk about KPAR
Absorption of light of various wavebands in a typical lake

Light AttenuationScattering Particles (silt, clay, algae, rock flour) Size of particles is important
Fine particles will scatter more light than equivalent weight of larger particles

Effects of dissolved and suspended matter on absorption of light at various wavelengths
Increasing DOM[gelbstoff]
Water and dissolved substances tend to absorb light of specific colors.
Particles tend to absorb or scatter light more evenly across the spectrum

What if you don’t have a light meter handy?• For a given lake, there is usually a good relationship between kPAR and Secchi depth
Rule of thumb: k = 1.7/ZSD
In non-humic lakes
