CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS■ Nutrients
▪ Phosphorus (P or TP for total phosphorus)▪ Nitrogen
■ pH■ Hardness/ Alkalinity■ Dissolved Oxygen■ Chloride

IMPORTANCE OF P TO ORGANISMS■ Phosphorus is a critical nutrient
■ Genetic molecules: DNA, RNA■ Structural molecules: phospholipids in cell walls■ Energy metabolism: ATP■ Every living organism needs phosphorus
■ Phosphorus is less abundant than most other nutrients
■ Both N and P tend to be high in demand by organisms, relative to their supply in the environment
■ N is often the limiting nutrient in terrestrial and marine ecosystems (with P close behind...)
■ But in lakes, P is usually the principal limiting nutrient

LIMITING NUTRIENT PRINCIPLE…That Nutrient in Least Supply
Relative to Plant Needs
N:P Ratio in plant Tissue 10:1 - 15:1
If the Ratio of N:P in Water is<10:1 Nitrogen Limited>15:1 Phosphorus Limited

TOTAL PHOSPHORUS/ CHLOROPHYLL a RELATIONSHIP
■ What is chlorophyll a?■ Phosphorus
causes algaeto grow
■ 1 lb P is enough to grow 500 lbs algae
■ That P can be recycled within the lake, used again and again.

Water quality varies■ Water clarity of a lake
varies seasonally and between years.
■ Some years have worse water quality than others, but a bad year doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a trend. The long term record reveals no trend on this lake.
■ Eutrophication: the process of a lake becoming more nutrient rich.

LAND USE AND WATERSHED IMPACTSLakes react differently to development and land uses. Why? Because of differences in their physical, chemical and biological characteristics.
