Relationship between nutrients and phytoplankton biomass based on chlorophyll prediction model in Zribar Lake of Kurdestan, a case study
Zaribar Lake is a little shallow lake in Kurdistan province of Iran and it is faced to eutrophication.The study of phytoplankton biomass-nutrient relations is important in eutrophication management and there are many empirical models to predict phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) based on nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorous) amounts in the lake. Evaluation of these empirical models and compar...
متن کاملInternal Loading in Southeastern Piedmont Impoundments
In Piedmont impoundments in Georgia, as well as lakes and impoundments throughout the world, accelerated eutrophication of lakes causes detrimental ecological effects such as algal blooms, lake anoxia and toxic metal release from sediments. It often renders water unsafe for agricultural use, recreation and drinking. To reduce the eutrophication of local Piedmont impoundments, recent regulatory ...
متن کاملEutrophication: impacts of excess nutrient inputs on freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems.
In the mid-1800s, the agricultural chemist Justus von Liebig demonstrated strong positive relationships between soil nutrient supplies and the growth yields of terrestrial plants, and it has since been found that freshwater and marine plants are equally responsive to nutrient inputs. Anthropogenic inputs of nutrients to the Earth's surface and atmosphere have increased greatly during the past t...
متن کاملBiological Resource Management: Connecting Science and Policy Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Paris Coastal Eutrophication and Agriculture: Contributions and Solutions
Many coastal waters of developed nations have experienced widespread and rapid eutrophication (the increase in supply of organic matter) during the last half of the 20 century. This has resulted in increased phytoplankton production, decreased water clarity, often-severe depletion of dissolved oxygen in bottom waters, loss of seagrasses and, in some cases, declines or changes in the quality of ...
متن کاملSolving problems resulting from solutions: evolution of a dual nutrient management strategy for the eutrophying Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina.
In estuaries, phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) inputs generally control freshwater and saltwater primary production, respectively. Improved wastewater P removal and a P-detergent ban in the late 1980s decreased P loading to the nutrient over-enriched Neuse River Estuary, NC, without a contemporaneous reduction in N loading. This led to a decrease in upstream freshwater phytoplankton production a...
