Spatial identification of critical nutrient loads of large shallow lakes: Implications for Lake Taihu (China).
Ongoing eutrophication frequently causes toxic phytoplankton blooms. This induces huge worldwide challenges for drinking water quality, food security and public health. Of crucial importance in avoiding and reducing blooms is to determine the maximum nutrient load ecosystems can absorb, while remaining in a good ecological state. These so called critical nutrient loads for lakes depend on the s...
متن کاملManipulating nutrient limitation using modified local soils: A case study at Lake Taihu (China).
The effect of geo-engineering materials of chitosan modified local soil (MLS) on nutrient limitation was studied in comparable whole ponds in Lake Taihu in October 2013. After 20 kg MLS were sprayed in the whole water pond (400 m(2)), the chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration was decreased from 42 to 18 μg L(-1) within 2 h and remained below 20 μg L(-1) in the following 15 months, while the avera...

متن کاملNutrient dynamics of Lake Tanganyika
The large and productive fishery of Lake Tanganyika is an important source of income and nutrition for the surrounding areas. This fishery, based primarily on pelagic clupeids (Kiswahili: dagaa), is very productive, and provides a readily available, nutritious, and inexpensive source of protein to the rapidly growing human populations in this area. The regional importance of the Lake Tanganyika...
متن کاملPredicting Nutrient Loads in Two European Catchments
Institute for Environment and Sustainability, Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, TP 460, I-21020 Ispra (VA), Italy. (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT The hydrological model SWAT was applied to two watersheds, the Ouse (North of UK) and the Vantaanjoki (South of Finland). The Ouse watershed is characterised by heavy husbandry and large application of organic nitrogen and p...
