| Title | Rationale for Control of Anthropogenic Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Inland Waters |
| Creator | Lewis, William M., Jr. Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Paerl, Hans W. |
| Description | Concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen in surface waters are being regulated in the United States and European Union. Human activity has raised the concentrations of these nutrients, leading to eutrophication of inland waters, which causes nuisance growth of algae and other aquatic plants. Control of phosphorus often has had the highest priority because of its presumed leading role in limiting development of aquatic plant biomass. Experimental evidence shows, however, that nitrogen is... |
