Reed Hall Pond A bioblitz pond dip (The contributor of this photos is Derek Harper)

Basic facts 6 sites, 3 hours of sampling 23 different animals 1 fish 1 species freshwater snail 1 mayfly species 2 species damselflies 3 species cased caddisflies 2 species beetles 2 different water bugs 1 species fly 2 species crustacean 1 species water mite 3 different oligochaete worms 2 different leeches 6 different aquatic/emergent plants

The site Sample site 4 1 5 2 6 3

What we found 4 1 5 2 6 3

Basic stats 4 1 5 2 6 3

Canopy shading 1 2 3 4 6 5

What’s going on? Impact of fountain 4 1 5 2 6 3

Number of taxa and Diversity 4 = Diversity index 1 5 2 6 3X 3 4X 1 = 1 taxon, 2 individuals 3.6X 3.4X 2,424 X

Reasons? Shading = reduced light = less phytoplankton production? Shading = leaves = organic input, too much? Shading = hiding places for Koi carp = heavier predation of invertebrates? Poorer aeration (unlike other end with a fountain)?

As a result… Foliage trimmed back, larger plants removed Leaf litter dredged Removed choking pondweed Whole pond aerated Koi carp netted off More habitats for invertebrates created Second fountain running
