Abstract:Lake Kivu, East Africa, is a deep oligotrophic and meromictic lake containing high amounts of dissolved methane (∼55-60 km 3 ) and carbon dioxide (∼300 km 3 ) in its deep waters. Methane harvesting for energy production began in 2015, and a monitoring programme was set up to assess possible disturbance on the ecosystem. Phytoplankton biomass and composition was assessed twice per month or monthly at 2 monitoring sites between June 2005 and December 2019, based on HPLC analysis of chlorophyll a (Chl-a) and mark… Show more
