Means and extremes - effects of climate warming scenarios on plankton communities

Means and extremes - effects of climate warming scenarios on plankton communities BYDdw

Our outdoor mesocosm experiment was established between June 2020 and August 2020 at Balaton Limnological Institute (N 46°54'48. 5", E 17°53'33. 9"). Our study mainly focused on the response of the zooplankton to warming and heat wave - these phenomena have become more popular in Europe nowadays. The facility consisted of 12 mesocosms, each with a maximum volume of 5000 L. Before two days at the beginning of this study, to achieve the natural plankton of the lake, mesocosms were filled water directly from lake Balaton - one of the biggest freshwater lakes in Europe (Bernát et al. , 2020) with an average depth of 3. 5 m (Kutics, 2019). Water level was set to 120 cm, which resulted in an experimental volume of 3000 L. Three types of treatment were assigned to the twelve mesocosms with four replicates each: (1) ambient environmental condition (control); (2) a constant elevation of 3°C above the ambient water temperature (constant +3°C) for four week and (3) one- week heat wave treatment with an increasing temperature of 6°C above the ambient water temperature (heat wave +6°C) in the first and the third week. There treatments mimicking the predicted climate scenarios by the end of the twenty-first century, lake heatwaves will get hotter and longer (Woolway et al. , 2021)
