| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; months of maximum bluegreen blue green algal blooms the standing crop of these algae becomes so great that large windrows windross wind rows are often washed into the shore area dead and dying bluegreens blue greens clog the littoral creating poor conditions for growth and reproduction of the plant and animal species in the littoral shoreline area the regional distinctness of the floras is masked during the late summer a and nd fall due to the preponderance of bluegreen blue green algae thoughout throughout though out the lake aphanizomenon flos fios aglae aouae aguae andor anabaena spiroides spi roides var crassa occur in such great numbers that they settle onto all substrate types often obscuring the nature of the resident attached flora the open water floras of the different regions of utah lake are similar that is most of the species found in one part of the lake are also found in other areas however the composition of the floras of inner goshen bay provo bay and the main body of the lake are significantly different when the dominant species are compared this is also shown by studies of diatoms in recent bottom sediments which are essentially a reflection of the diatom floras of the open water system these samples showed that there are several distinct regions of the lake which can be separated by diatom floristics using cluster analysis algae in sediment samples were found to cluster into seven distinct groups two of these clusters were composed of samples collected in goshen bay and a third group was largely comprised of goshen bay samples three others were main lake groups and the last was a provo bay group this is not surprising when the water chemistry of the utah lake system is taken into account for instance the salinity of inner goshen bay is higher than that of the main lake which is in turn higher in salinity than provo bay rocky shoreline communities the rocky littoral habitat in utah lake is well developed although limited in total area it can be subdivided into hardpan which is best developed at lincoln point large rubble which is found in several regions of the lake and small rubble which is also widely distributed the diatom floras of the hardpan near lincoln point show some 2 50 |
