Abstract

AbstractThe influence of nitrates (NH4NO3 KNO3 and Ca(NO3)2) on Diatom populations has been studied. These populations were isolated by enclosures with transparent walls, without bottom or lid, placed in an oligotrophic pond. The addition of NH4NO3 generally resulted in a decrease in the number of Diatoms and the disappearance of some species. The addition of KNO3 and Ca(NO3)2 was followed, during some periods, by a very important increase of Achnanthes minutissima, Fragilaria construens and Gomphonema parvulum.
