Interactive regulation of phytoplankton succession by physical forcing and internal phosphorus loading: a comparative study in eutrophic freshwater lakes

- This project combines the improvement and field application of an innovative on-line monitoring tool for phytoplankton diversity in lakes (Delayed Fluorescence spectrometer) with a simulation modelling approach aimed at the prediction of phytoplankton responses to different phosphorus loading scenarios, including internal P-loading in lakes under various climatic condition.
- This combined approach will contribute to an improved knowledge about eutrophication processes in lakes and will lay the basis for better remedial water management approaches.
