title: Seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton in relation to key aquatic habitat factors in a polluted urban small water body in Tianjin, China.
abstract: To evaluate the seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton and its relationships with aquatic habitat factors in polluted urban landscape lakes, annual investigations have been carried out in the West zone of Xinkai Lake. The results showed that the lake belongs to the eutrophic-supertrophic type in terms of key habitat factors measurement. The seasonal succession of phytoplankton community was determined. The dominant cyanobacterial species Oscillatoria tenuis Ag. bloomed in autumn, although the other species with higher degrees of dominance never bloomed in the year investigated. Significant correlations between some habitat factors and phytoplankton biomass were observed.
