Availability of Phosphorus to Phytoplankton and Its Implications for Phosphorus Management Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the questions associated with the development of a cost-effective phosphorus management strategy for a waterbody concerns whether the control program should be based on total phosphorus or on algal available phosphorus entering the waterbody. Until now, eutrophication control programs have been based largely on the control of any form of phosphorus that was amenable to control, irrespective of whether the phosphorus was in a form which could support algal growth.

Temporal trends of trophic state variables in a shallow hypereutrophic subtropical lake, Lake Griffi n, Florida, USA
Changes in the concentrations of selected trophic state parameters in Lake Griffi n were examined over a 22-year period. Parameters included chlorophyll-a, total nitrogen and total phosphorus. Additional information was obtained for phytoplankton composition and nutrient limitation status of phytoplankton growth over a shorter period of time, from 2000 to 2002. The central goal of the study was...
متن کاملDirect and residual phosphorus effects on grain yieldphosphorus uptake relationships in upland rice on an ultisol in West Africa
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major constraint to crop production on highly weathered, lowactivity clay soils in the humid zone of West Africa. Past research suggested a linear relationship between grain yield and P uptake over a range of fertilizer P applied to upland rice cultivars. However, there is lack of information on how these relationships are affected by the long-term fertilizer ...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling for Homogeneous Tumor with Delay in Time
Due to the properties of tumor cell, the tumor establishes itself in the organ and grows there, so there is a competition between the tumor cells and host cell (normal cells) for nutrients. Evidences show that high dietary phosphorus increases the rate of protein synthesis and thus the cell number. So, other than oxygen, sulfur, the important element that both tumor cells and normal cells need ...
متن کاملAccumulation and enhanced cycling of polyphosphate by Sargasso Sea plankton in response to low phosphorus.
Phytoplankton alter their biochemical composition according to nutrient availability, such that their bulk elemental composition varies across oceanic provinces. However, the links between plankton biochemical composition and variation in biogeochemical cycling of nutrients remain largely unknown. In a survey of phytoplankton phosphorus stress in the western North Atlantic, we found that phytop...
متن کاملPhytoplankton growth and phosphate uptake ( for P limitation ) by natural phytoplankton populations from the Loosdrecht lakes ( The Netherlands ) ’
Phosphate uptake capacity of natural phytoplankton populations was used as a physiological indicator of P limitation in the Loosdrecht lakes. During a substantial period of the growth season of 1983, P-limited growth was observed in Lake fireukeleveen and Lake Loosdrecht, but P limitation was less severe in the latter. In Lake Breukeleveen the maximum initial phosphate uptake rate (V,,) varied ...
