    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An 4 Probestellen am Ufer des Chilwa-Sees wurde monatlich die Frequenz jeder Art und die Artenzusammensetzung in der Vegetation bestimmt. Die Probestellen stellten ein Profil vom Land seewärts durch den litoralenTypha-Sumpf dar. Die Beziehungen zwischen dem jahreszeitlich bedingten Wechsel der einzelnen Arten und den Wasserstandsschwankungen werden aufgezeigt. Für jede Probestelle wurde ein ‘distance index’ und ein Diversitätsindex berechnet. Der ‘distance index’ nahm in Richtung See ab, während der Diversitätsindex bis zum zentralen Teil des Sumpfes ebenfalls abnahm, dann jedoch bis zur offenen Seefläche hin anstieg. Die saisonbedingten Veränderungen der an der Vegetation untersuchten Parameter waren, bedingt durch eine 3–4 monatige Trockenphase, in den landwärts gelegenen Probestellen stärker als in den seewärts gelegenen. Die Gründe für diese räumlich und zeitlich bedingten Veränderungen werden diskutiert. Es wird vermutet, dass die Artendiversität in Pflanzengesellschaften, die dort vorkommen, wo die Umweltfaktoren saisonbedingt variieren stark beeinflusst wird. Um die Diversität auf die Umweltfaktoren zu beziehen, ist es daher nötig, diese Faktoren zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten zu bestimmen.
    Notes: Summary Changes in the frequency of individual species, and in the species composition of the vegetation were monitored at monthly intervals at four stations on the shore of Lake Chilwa. The stations formed a transect from land to lake through the littoralTypha swamp. The relationships between seasonal changes in the frequency of individual species and fluctuations in water level were shown. Stand distance indices decreased from land to lake whilst species diversity decreased from land to the central swamp and then rose again on the lake edges. Seasonal changes in the vegetation were more pronounced on the landward edge, which was subjected to alternate wet and dry periods than in the vegetation of the lake edge. The reasons for these spatial and temporal changes are discussed. It is suggested that plant communities occurring in a fluctuating physical environment may behave differently with respect to diversity from those in which the environment is temporally stable.

    Notes: Abstract Dissolved and particulate organic materials were analysed in 14 streamwaters of the McMurdo Sound region of Antarctica. These streams are fed by glacial meltwaters and pass through catchments largely devoid of terrestrial vegetation. Nonetheless they contained measurable amounts of organic material in both dissolved and particulate form. Most of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) values lay in the range 1–3 g C m−3. Higher values were recorded close to penguin rookeries on the coast. Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) concentrations were generally two orders of magnitude less than DOC and in flowing waters with rich blue-green algal growth DON increased with distance downstream. Dissolved organic phosphorus levels were generally much lower than DON, but highly variable. Particulate organic carbon concentrations (both fine and coarse) were unexpectedly high. Five sources of organic matter were identified: birdlife (only near the coast), autochthonous algal production (especially important for DON), streambed soils (important at first flows), lacustrine and marine sediments, through which certain streams and glaciers cut, and the glacial ice, which received organic input from wind-blown particulates, snowfall and the underlying bedrock of sedimentary origin. Highest organic levels were recorded in the first melt down the glacier face, suggesting that winter deposition of organic materials may be especially important.
