Nutrient LimitationNutrient Limitation
The growth of algae and higher aquatic plants in lakes is regulated by conditions of light and temperature and the availability of those inorganic nutrients required to support growth. The element most often in limiting supply is phosphorus, P.

Eutrophication
Eutrophication: the process of becoming or being made eutrophic
Eutrophic: the state of being enriched in nutrients or food sources
In aquatic ecosystems, eutrophication is caused by excessive inputs of nutrients, both N & P. Generally, freshwaters are P-limited and coastal estuarine waters are N-limited. The nutrients enhance algal growth, and this, in turn, may have a cascade of effects on the ecosystem. These effects may include: algal blooms, growth of undesirable algal species, oxygen depletion or anoxia in bottom waters, loss of cold-water fish species, abundance of “rough fish”, fish kills, unpleasant tastes and odors.
![Page 27: Lake Mixing: Density. Thermal Stratification Epilimnion Hypolimnion.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/56649cdc5503460f949a68aa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sources of nutrients
• Point sources– Sewage treatment plant discharges– Storm sewer discharges– Industrial discharges
• Non-point sources– Atmospheric deposition– Agricultural runoff (fertilizer, soil erosion)– Septic systems
![Page 28: Lake Mixing: Density. Thermal Stratification Epilimnion Hypolimnion.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061520/56649cdc5503460f949a68aa/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Solution: Reduce nutrient inputs
• Agriculture– Reduce animal density, restrict timing of manure spreading,
buffer strips by streams, reduced tillage, underground fertilizer application, wetland preservation and construction
• Watershed management– Buffer zones, wetland filters
• Storm runoff– Eliminate combined sewer systems (CSO’s)– Stormwater treatment required (holding ponds, alum)– Education on yard fertilization
• Erosion from construction, forestry– Erosion barriers, soil cover, road and bridge stabilization
• Septic systems– Distance from lake, adequate drainfields

Mitigation strategies
Often there is pressure for quick actions that will reduce the severity of the symptoms. Numerous options exist. To understand these options and choose among them, one should understand the nutrient cycle within the aquatic system (lake).

The P cycle may be manipulated in several ways to reduce the regeneration of inorganic P and its transport to the epilimnion or to reduce the algal uptake of P.

Within-lake actions
• Reduce algal growth– Apply algicide
– Biomanipulation
• Reduce mineralization– Remove organic P before it is mineralized
• Dredging
• Macrophyte harvesting
• Reduce transport of inorg. P to epilimnion– Hypolimnetic water withdrawal
