| Title | Do Phosphorus and Nitrogen Act Synergistically to Exacerbate Algal Growth and Eutrophication |
| Creator | Wurtsbaugh, Wayne |
| Description | Phosphorus and nitrogen cause algal blooms that decrease water quality of lakes, rivers and coastal ecosystems. Although phosphorus control has frequently been implemented to reduce eutrophication, several lines of evidence indicate that nitrogen also needs to be controlled in some situations. Whole-lake experiments, and a correlation analysis of N, P, and chlorophyll in 1268 US lakes all indicate that nitrogen and phosphorus together produce larger algal blooms than do addition of each... |
