Changes in the Zooplankton Community in Response to Reductions in Nutrient Loading to Saginaw Bay (Lake Huron)

摘要

Saginaw Bay (Lake Huron) receives tributary waters from the industrial heartland of Michigan. For twenty years University scientists have examined its water chemistry, physical characteristics including currents, and the community composition of its biota. This large amount of background information has permitted interpretation of the EPA's efforts to improve water quality in the system by diverting nutrients as phosphorus and nitrogen.
