Phytoplankton Changes During Eutrophication and P and N Metabolism

  • Conference paper
Modeling and Managing Shallow Lake Eutrophication

Abstract

The immediate ecological consequence of nutrient enrichment in lakes is the increased growth of aquatic plants. The mass proliferation of algae may interfere directly with water uses so that most eutrophication models usually contain phytoplankton as the most important state variable. In eutrophication studies either the states of water bodies under different loads are compared, or the processes are studied in selected lakes.
