Wetzel, R G

The quantitative capacities of larger rooted aquatic plants, microflora attached to the large aquatic plants and to sediments, and the open-water phytoplankton algae and bacteria to control the fluxes and loadings of nutrients within lakes are being investigated. Each of the major communities of the wetlands, littoral zone, sediments, and open water are being analyzed to evaluate their capacities to regulate nutrient fluxes and loadings to and from the open water. All of the component subprograms are coupled to each other and address the general question of quantifying the regulatory capacities of attached macrophytes and microflora for nutrient loadings and recycling, and how these biotic controls affect phytoplankton competition, succession, and productivity. 92 references, 7 figures.
