2 Objectives - Strategy When should we deploy the filters
When should we replace the filters How many filters should we deploy … in order to remove the maximal amount of N & P and fine particles from the system.

3 Filters standing and sampling

4 Biotic succession on Biofilters
A clear succession of the community attached on the fikters were observed. During the initial stages the biomass on the filters is dominated by chlorophytes while at later on is dominated by calcareous alge and hydrozoa.

5 Sampling of mesocosms

6 Photosynthesis and Respiration- July experiment (filter deployed in May)
Blank

7 Photosynthesis and Respiration- Sept experiment (filters deployed in May and in July

8 Phosphorus: paradox?

9 Mass Balance PON DIN Macrophytes Fauna Biomass 5-10% 15-30%
Dust, bacteria, phytopl. DIN Respiration Photosynthesis Macrophytes Fauna Biomass

10 DIP, DIN and O2 consumption rates (μmoles/hour/filter)
Photosynthesis= Day-Night

11 Mass Balance PON DIN ??? Macrophytes Fauna ??? Biomass 5-10% 15-30%
Dust, bacteria, phytopl. DIN Respiration ??? Photosynthesis Macrophytes Fauna ??? Biomass

12 The new filters consume dissolve inorganic nutrients (N, P)
Conclusions The new filters consume dissolve inorganic nutrients (N, P) Old filters remove fine particulate material What is more desirable? Combination strategy?
