摘要: Coastal eutrophication is a key environmental concern in Finland. A highly indented, well-settled coastline with myriad of small estuaries means that occurs at numerous localities. There clear need for general models predict across estuaries. Lake has been successfully predicted using combination chlorophyll (Chl) - total phosphorus (TP) regression and TP mass-balance models. We applied this limnological approach to 19 Finnish The Chl-TP was significant, accounting 67% the variation Chl. When combined equation, log observed Chl differed by 28% on average. Accuracy improved dividing into those dominated non-point-source (NPS) loading (n = 11) point-source (PS) 7). land-use model based percentage catchment forested estuarine mean depth then best NPS-dominat...
