The Potency of Phytoplankton in the Lakes of Universitas Indonesia (UI) as the “Carbon-Eater”: A Preliminary Study in Revealing the Lake as a Possibly Another Carbon Bank
Abstract:Abstract-Phytoplankton is well-known as microorganism that can undergo photosynthesis and can only be found in aquatic ecosystems. Universitas Indonesia (UI), Depok, has six lakes: Kenanga, Agathis, Mahoni, Puspa, Ulin, and Salam Lake. Those lakes are proved to have an important role in regulating water circulation in UI and surroundings. However, study about the role of those lakes in storing carbon which is resulted from photosynthesis done by phytoplankton has not been conducted yet. We have done this study… Show more
