Artificial circulation as a lake management tool has been widely used to treat eutrophication problem, but its effects on lake ecosystems are still not fully understood. In this study, I examined the impacts of artificial circulation on profundal macroinvertebrate community abundance, diversity and species composition in two lakes, using annual time series data on invertebrates from 2004 to 2017. Moreover, I investigated if the treatment affects the status of profundal macroinvertebrates as an integral component of the ecological status assessment of the studied lakes. In Jyväsjärvi, the artificial circulation was stopped in 2011, whereas in Tuomiojärvi the process was started in 2012. A nearby Lake Alvajärvi served as a control for both treatment lakes, in the Before, After, Control, Impact (BACI) design. Samples were collected in each autumn from two sites in Jyväsjärvi and in one site from each of the other lakes. Stopping the artificial circulation significantly decreased hypolimnetic dissolved oxygen and temperature in Jyväsjärvi, whereas starting the circulation in Tuomiojärvi resulted in opposite changes. Density and biomass of Chironomidae and Oligochaeta generally declined when treatment was stopped in Jyväsjärvi but doubled in Tuomiojärvi after it was started. In both lakes, Chaoboridae abundance was smaller during circulation than during the period without circulation. This could be expected, as chaoborid larvae benefit from the hypoxic profundal as a refugium. Shannon–weaner diversity index values were greater during circulation in both Jyväsjärvi and Tuomiojärvi. In Alvajärvi, no consistent differences in the measured community metrics were observed between the two periods. The results suggest that artificial circulation neither significantly improves nor deteriorates the status of invertebrate communities as it is presently defined and measured according to the Finnish legislation. However, it is important to carry out similar research in other artificially circulated lakes and to consider other biota, to further test the suitability of the management tool for improving lake ecological status.

Species and genetic diversity relationships in benthic macroinvertebrate communities along a salinity gradient
Petersen, H. Cecilie; Hansen, Benni W.; Knott, K. Emily; Banta, Gary T. (Biomed Central, 2022)Background Species- and genetic diversity can change in parallel, resulting in a species-genetic diversity correlation (SGDC) and raising the question if the same drivers influence both biological levels of diversity. The ... -
Improving statistical classification methods and ecological status assessment for river macroinvertebrates
Ärje, Johanna (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Aquatic ecosystems are facing a growing number of human-induced stressors and the need to implement more biomonitoring to assess the ecological status of water bodies is eminent. This dissertation aims at providing tools ... -
Environmental filtering and spatial effects on metacommunity organisation differ among littoral macroinvertebrate groups deconstructed by biological traits
Tolonen, Kimmo; Cai, Yongjiu; Vilmi, Annika; Karjalainen, Satu Maaria; Sutela, Tapio; Heino, Jani (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2018)We examined spatial and environmental effects on the deconstructed assemblages of littoral macroinvertebrates within a large lake. We deconstructed assemblages by three biological trait groups: body size, dispersal mode ... -
An extended Benthic Quality Index for assessment of lake profundal macroinvertebrates: addition of indicator taxa by multivariate ordination and weighted averaging
Jyväsjärvi, Jussi; Aroviita, Jukka; Hämäläinen, Heikki (North American Benthological Society, 2014)The chironomid Benthic Quality Index (BQI) is a widely used metric in assessments of lake status. The BQI is based on 7 indicator taxa, which like most profundal fauna, often occur sporadically in low densities. Hence, ...
