Nitrogen and Phosphorous Mass Balances Show Tropical EU-Trophic Reservoirs Behave as Variable but Persistent Sinks of Both Elements: A Case Study Using a Long-Term Series to Assess the Effect of Water Level Fluctuations

Abstract: Nitrogen and phosphorous loading drives eutrophication of aquatic systems. Lakes and reservoirs are often effective N and P sinks, but information is needed on the variability of their biogeochemical dynamics, especially for tropical systems. A long-term N and P mass balance (2003-2018) in a small tropical eutrophic reservoir lake, Valle de Bravo (VB), Mexico, showed it is a net sink of N (-41.7 g N m-2 y-1), and P (-2.7 g P m-2 y-1), mainly through net sedimentation, equivalent to 181% and 68% of their respec… Show more
