Abstract:Eutrophication is a worldwide problem. In eutrophic shallow lakes, phosphorus release from stored sediment hinders restoration processes. The epipelon is a community that grows attached to the sediment surface and has the potential to help P retention by autotrophic organisms. This study evaluated epipelon responses to four shallow lake restoration techniques. The responses of abiotic variables and phytoplankton biomass were also evaluated. Four simultaneous mesocosm experiments were performed in a shallow eut… Show more
