is comment on/response to 037262 Scientific fundamentals of the eutrophication of lakes and flowing waters, with particular reference to nitrogen and phosphorus as factors in eutrophication
This preliminary version of a long-awaited document is a valuable compilation and review of the literature of eutrophication, combined with the critical judgment of an experienced limnologist. In seven major sections, we are given: 1. Introduction and statement of problem. 2. Notes on the physiology and ecology of aquatic bloom forming plankton organisms, and of hydrophytes, with reference to their phosphorus and nitrogen requirements. 3. Relationship between biomass, productivity, and trophic levels of waters. 4. Nutrient status, nutrient supply, critical concentration, and loading levels. 5. Nutrient sources. 6. Inferences as regards eutrophication. 7. Elimination of phosphorus and nitrogen from waste water--state of the art
