Identification and Evaluation of Factors Affecting the Eutrophication of Wuxing Lake

Abstract

Lake eutrophication is a major problem with water environment around the world. It is of great ecological significance to identify and control the inducing factors of lake eutrophication. This paper explores the causes of the eutrophication of Wuxing Lake from external conditions, sources of nutrients, and the relationship between nutrients and eutrophication. The influencing factors of lake eutrophication were subject to correlation analysis, revealing how much each factor affects the degree of eutrophication. The results show that temperature has the greatest impact on the eutrophication of Wuxing Lake, followed by total phosphorus (TP); current speed is the weakest impact factor. Hence, external conditions have a significant effect on the eutrophication of Wuxing Lake. Nitrogen and phosphorus, as nutrients for algae and other phytoplankton, also contribute greatly to the eutrophication of Wuxing Lake. The research results contribute greatly to the healthy development of Wuxing Lake and the sustainable economic growth of the surrounding regions.

[RETRACTED] Short-term dynamics and growth parameters of cyanobacteria and microcystins in freshwater from the Sidi-Yacoub dam, North-east of Algeria

“…These water parameters indicate, according to Carlson and Simpson (1996) an eutrophic state of water dam with a tendency for cyanobacteria species to dominate the water environment, particularly the genus Microcystis, which recorded the highest biomass among all the species of cyanobacteria observed in the Sidi Yakoub dam. The many human activities applied to the waters of the Sidi-Yakoub dam has a negative impact on its quality, exerts a notable influence on the progression of phytoplankton communities (Setyono and Himawan 2018;Namsaraev et al 2020 ;Mashkova et al 2021) and can even cause eutrophication, a natural phenomenon accelerated by human activity, impacts numerous aquatic ecosystems worldwide and is recognized as a global concern (Ansari and Gill 2014;Ismest'eva et al 2015;Viaroli et al 2015;Gao et al 2020;Pratiwi et al 2020;Kostryukova et al 2021), leading to increase in production of phytoplankton biomass (Kostryukova et al 2018) and its community structure (Schuster et al 2015;Sharma et al 2016;Suda et al 2016;Li et al 2018;Pratiwi et al 2018;Song et al 2019;Wang et al 2020;Yang et al 2020;Manamani and Bensouilah 2023), oxygen depletion, reduced light penetration and extensive deterioration of water quality (Rao et al 2018).…”

Short Communication: Assessing phytoplankton species structure in trophically different water bodies of South Ural, Russia

“…Microalgae are also very sensitive and respond quickly to decreased water quality caused by human activity (Setyono and Himawan 2018). Eutrophication, which influences aquatic biodiversity, affects many water bodies around the world and is considered a global issue (Ansari and Gill 2013;Ismest'eva et al 2015;Viaroli et al 2015;Gao et al 2020;Pratiwi et al 2020). Eutrophication leads to higher trophic states.…”
