Title Seasonal Dynamics of Nutrient Limitation in a Tropical High-Altitude Lake (Lake Titicaca, Peru-Bolivia): Application of Physiological Bioassays
Creator Vincent, W. Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Vincent, C. Richerson, P.
Description Five types of physiological assay were applied to samples from three sites in Lake Titicaca, Peru- Bolivia (16”s) to assess the magnitude and seasonality of N or P limitation of algal growth. Phosphorus appeared to be in abundant supply relative to growth requirements throughout 1982. Alkaline phosphatase levels were low (~3 nmol substrate converted.cc.g-‘Chl aeliter-l), 3zP0.,3- turnover times were always long (> lo3 min in the main body of the lake), and little or no phosphorus was...
