Major advances in the scientific understanding and management of eutrophication have been made since the late 1960s. The control of point sources of phosphorus reduced algal blooms in many lakes. Diffuse nutrient sources from land use changes and urbanization in the catchments of lakes have proved possible to control but require many years of restoration efforts. The importance of water residence time to eutrophication has been recognized. Changes in aquatic communities contribute to…

Geochemical Approaches to Improve Nutrient Source Tracking in the Great Lakes

Water quality issues that lead to freshwater eutrophication are a rapidly intensifying global concern, and the recent increase in eutrophic conditions in the Great Lakes has gained international…

Impacts of Nutrient Reduction on Coastal Communities

Eutrophication due to high anthropogenic nutrient loading has greatly impacted ecological processes in marine coastal waters and, therefore, much effort has been put into reducing nitrogen and…

On the hydrological map of the world eutrophication has become the primary water quality issue. The excessive enrichment of waters with anthropogenic sources of nutrients especially nitrogen (N) and…

Eutrophication and restoration in temperate lakes

Eutrophication affects many lakes and reservoirs worldwide. It is caused by excessive amounts of nutrients entering waterbodies from their catchments, mainly due to human activity. The main sources…

Trophic State, Eutrophication, and the Threats for Water Quality of the Great Mazurian Lake System

One of the greatest threats to water quality is accelerated eutrophication, resulting from human activity, like the high intensity of tourism, surface runoffs from fertilized fields, and municipal…

Long-Term Consequences of Water Pumping on the Ecosystem Functioning of Lake Sekšu, Latvia

Cultural eutrophication, the process by which pollution due to human activity speeds up natural eutrophication, is a widespread and consequential issue. Here, we present the 85-year history of a…

The rise and fall of dissolved phosphate in South African rivers

Eutrophication of water resources following nutrient loading is a global threat to water quality, and has been found to be one of the major threats to water quality in South Africa. Eutrophication is…

Recent advancement in water quality indicators for eutrophication in global freshwater lakes

Eutrophication is a major global concern in lakes, caused by excessive nutrient loadings (nitrogen and phosphorus) from human activities and likely exacerbated by climate change. Present use of…

Silica and Nitrate Depletion as Related to Rate of Eutrophication in Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Superior

Accelerated eutrophication of lakes caused by inputs of nutrients from man’s activities on land has been recognized for at least 25 years (Hasler, 1947) and has been related to phosphorus and…

Evaluation of recent limnological changes at Lake Apopka

The new analyses confirm the previous findings that the high turbidities in Lake Apopka are due to the resuspension of sediments, and that the fluid mud cannot support the colonization of submersed aquatic macrophytes.

Eutrophication of Lake 227, Experimental Lakes Area, Northwestern Ontario, by Addition of Phosphate and Nitrate

Experiments in polyethylene containers suspended in the lake during this period of low total CO2 indicated that carbon was not limiting to algal production, except possibly at algal standing crops in excess of 100 μg/lite...

Lake and catchment management in Denmark

The majority of Danish lakes are highly eutrophic due to high nutrient input from domestic sources and agricultural activities. Reduced nutrient retention, and more rapid removal, in catchments as a…

Biological Control of Eutrophication in Lakes

Grazing may effectively control total algal biomass over a relatively wide range of P input rates, but may not suppress irruptions of nuisance algae.

Lake restoration in Denmark

The results from lake restoration projects, in the mainly shallow Danish lakes, show that external nutrient loading must be reduced to a level below 0.05–0.1 mg P L–1 under equilibrium conditions to gain permanent effects on lake water quality.

Exchange of Nutrients Between Sediments and Water After 15 Years of Experimental Eutrophication

Increases in the concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus occurred in the water column of Lake 227 during 15 years of fertilization with phosphoric acid and sodium nitrate, using a simple model and from the chemistry of sediment pore water.

Retention and Internal Loading of Phosphorus in Shallow, Eutrophic Lakes

This paper gives a general overview of the nature and important mechanisms behind internal loading of phosphorus (P), which is a phenomenon appearing frequently in shallow, eutrophic lakes upon a…

Linking Landscape and Water Quality in the Mississippi River Basin for 200 Years

The 200-year record of nutrient loading to offshore water is reflected in the paleoreconstructed record of plankton in dated sediments, illustrating that the development of fair, sustained management of inland ecosystems is linked to the management of offshore systems.
