ecological study of photoautotrophs in Lake Worth
Title
An ecological study of photoautotrophs in Lake Worth.
Creator
Bolter, Keren P., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Abstract/Description
Little Lake Worth (LLW) (800 m x 200 m x 8« m) is an artificially deep, monomictic marine basin. Pigments and other water quality parameters (O2, pH, T, S, NO3 -. etc.) were utilized to characterize phototrophic communities and water quality. The water column is dominated by diatoms except in the hypolimnon during stratification events (late Summer) when strong anoxia and H2S favors abundant Chlorobium sulfur bacteria. Results indicate nitrate-enriched freshwater baseflow indicative of septic...
Show moreLittle Lake Worth (LLW) (800 m x 200 m x 8« m) is an artificially deep, monomictic marine basin. Pigments and other water quality parameters (O2, pH, T, S, NO3 -. etc.) were utilized to characterize phototrophic communities and water quality. The water column is dominated by diatoms except in the hypolimnon during stratification events (late Summer) when strong anoxia and H2S favors abundant Chlorobium sulfur bacteria. Results indicate nitrate-enriched freshwater baseflow indicative of septic tank seepage during the wet season. This also appears to lead to the accumulation of concentrated organic matter in the sediment. LLW is a potential threat to the health of the ecosystem and the humans using it recreationally. More research is required to verify the effectiveness of restoration options. The spatial and temporal distribution of Chlorobium (phaeovibiroides tent.) and their Bacteriochlorophyll-e homologues is described and compared to similar studies.

Reconstructing predevelopment conditions of Lake Worth Creek using historical maps, accounts, and aerial photography
Title
Reconstructing predevelopment conditions of Lake Worth Creek using historical maps, accounts, and aerial photography.
Creator
Farnsworth, Susan O., Florida Atlantic University, Roberts, Charles
Abstract/Description
This thesis develops a technique that combines the use of historical geography with photo interpretation and physical geography to reconstruct the predevelopment landcover of an urban area in southeastern Florida. This technique differs from traditional map making methods by utilizing Geographic Information System modeling procedures to create a conceptual map and test it against independent historical maps and accounts. Historical maps and accounts provided new information about the historic...

This technique differs from traditional map making methods by utilizing Geographic Information System modeling procedures to create a conceptual map and test it against independent historical maps and accounts. Historical maps and accounts provided new information about the historic landscape that could not be deferred from present physiographic information. The resulting maps had more detail about the most highly altered areas than the conceptual map created from physiographic information.
