A CARLSON‐TYPE TROPHIC STATE INDEX FOR NITROGEN IN FLORIDA LAKES1

Abstract: Kratzer and Brezonik's (1981) report illustrates that for nitrogen-limited lakes, similar to many of the Florida lakes, the use of trophic state indices (TSI), which assume or imply that there is a constant relationship between Secchi disk depth (SD) or total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll a (CHA), can lead to erroneous conclusions. However, I find fault with their procedure of averaging the lesser of a TP TSI and total nitrogen (TN) TSI with a SD TSI and CHA TSI to compute an

“…According to Carlson (1977) and Kratzer and Brezonik (1981), Lake Przykona is low meso-eutrophic and Bogdałów is highly mesotrophic. The average TSI in these lakes was over 40 (Table 3).…”

“…The trophic state index (TSI) of the studied lakes was calculated from the: SD, Chl a, TP, and TN (Carlson 1977;Kratzer and Brezonik 1981). The rotifer trophic state index (TSI Rot ) was calculated after Ejsmont- Karabin (2012).…”

“…Distribuição de frequência dos valores da razão N:P em todas as amostras da lagoa Caiubá, durante dezembro de 2009 e novembro de 2010, (n=72) Kratzer & Brezonik (1981) estudando lagos rasos tropicais na Flórida consideraram ambientes com produtividade limitada por nitrogênio, aqueles que apresentam razão N:P menor que 10. Os resultados desta pesquisa indicaram que apenas em seis das amostragens esses valores ultrapassaram tal valor, podendo a lagoa Caiubá ser considerada limitada por nitrogênio.…”
