The nutrients and plants of Lake Joondalup, a mildly eutrophic lake experiencing large seasonal changes in volume

摘要: Lake Joondalup is a shallow body of fresh water in calcareous stable dune system 6 km from the ocean. The fringing and aquatic vegetation described. Cation ratios resemble sea apart relatively high calcium, attributed to leaching limestone. Seasonal changes volume greatly affect ionic concentrations. A bloom green alga Dispora coincides with low ion levels. Total nitrogen compared phosphorus. surrounding land becoming urbanized, data provide baseline for future reference.
