Trends in eutrophication research and control

Abstract: Eutrophication is the natural ageing process of lakes. It is characterized by a geologically slow shift from in-lake biological production driven by allochthonous (external to the water body) loading of nutrients, to production driven by autochthonous (in-lake) processes. This shift typically is accompanied by changes in species and biotic community composition, as an aquatic ecosystem is ultimately transformed into a terrestrial biome. However, this typically slow process can be greatly accelerated by human i… Show more

“…A concept largely used in limnology to explain the process by which lakes gradually age and become more productive, it is characterized by a geologically slow shift from in-lake biological production driven by allochthonous (external to the water body) loading of nutrients to production driven by autochthonous (in-lake) processes (Rast and Thornton, 1996). This shift typically is accompanied by changes in species and biotic community composition as the aquatic ecosystem ultimately is transformed into a terrestrial biome.…”

“…Excessive algal and rooted plant growth, degraded water quality, extensive deoxygenation of the bottom-water layers, and increased fish biomass accompanied by decreased harvest quality are some features of this process (Rast and Thornton, 1996). Therefore, cultural or anthropogenic eutrophication may result in water quality deterioration caused by excessive plant nutrients from anthropogenic sources (Havens et al, 1996).…”

“…To date, the quality of most natural waters in many developed countries has been improved from a decidedly eutrophic to a mesotrophic concentration [1,2]. However, algal blooms are increasingly severe in many developing countries [3,4] and it is necessary to remove nutrients, as well as algae, from water courses to ensure an adequate supply of drinking water, clean water for fishing and for use in industrial production.…”

“…These contributions were even greater during flood years, such as in 1993 when Iowa (4.5 percent of the drainage basin area) contributed about 35 percent of the N flux. Hypoxia also occurs in fresh waters and has likewise been attributed to excess nutrient transport to lakes or reservoirs (Ryding and Rast, 1989;Rast and Thornton, 1996).…”
