New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission: The Relationship between Nutrient Concentrations and Periphyton Levels in Rivers and Streams - A Review of the Scientific Literature. Final.

摘要

The document presents a focused review of the scientific literature for relationships between periphyton biomass and ambient nutrient concentrations in temperate rivers and streams. The review was performed by ENSR as part of the technical support services provided to the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA) New England in support of the development of ecoregional water quality criteria for nutrients.
