| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; the cosmopolitan nature of species all species now present would continue to be present at some location in the lake table 3c ac 5 DIKE COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND construction recommendations As mentioned earlier it is always difficult to make predictions about ecological systems due to the multitude of factors which influence individual species as well as the complexity of interactions determining community structure however it is possible to assess many of the important factors and make predictions of community andor species changes with some degree of probability with this in mind it seems that at least four controllable factors are important in determining the nature of the biotic community that will become established on the face of the proposed dikes these include the nature of the substrate slope of the dikes the extent of drawdown of lake waters and physical orientations of the dikes themselves the size of substrate used to finish the surface of the dike will play an important role in determining the structure of the biotic community sand clay ooze andor gravel would be poor choices as surface material diverse biotic communities as presently found in the rubble areas would not develop on the dikes with these facing materials since one of the important habitats being removed from the lake by diking is the rocky shore area large and small rubble should be used for dike facing material if this is done we feel a well developed and diverse community will develop along the dikes the rubble size should range between 128 512 mm this material should be in at least a 50 cm layer to allow the development of a good interstitial community predicted algal community the algal flora which will become established upon the dikes if they are stoney substrates should have a stable nondiatom non diatom algal component comprised of cladophora glomerate glomerata glom erata and associated species including oedogonium species oscillatoria amphibia oscillatoria 374 3 74 |
