| Title | A decline in benthic algal production may explain recent hypoxic events in Lake Erie's central basin |
| Creator | Brothers, Soren Vadeboncoeur, Yvonne Sibley, Paul |
| Description | Since the late 1990s, the central basin of Lake Erie has reputedly experienced an increase in the frequency and severity of hypoxic events. However, total phosphorus (TP) loading, in-lake TP concentrations, chlorophyll a (Chl a), and sediment oxygen demand (SOD) have all declined in the central basin since the 1970s. Water clarity in this basin has declined from the 1970s to 2000s despite the invasion of dreissenid mussels around 1990. In shallow lakes, declines in benthic primary production... |
