Nutrient relationships in the shallow water of lake naivasha
Abstract
Nutrient levels in macrophytes and sediment in
the shallow water zone were determined nutrient release from sediment , macrophytes in the shallow
water zone and the spatial and temporal distribution
of nutrients a in water were investigated , In
addition nutrient standing stocks in various components
were calculated along with-inputs to the lake from
drawdown and other sources •
. Average nutrient levels in the macrophytes
varied on a dry weight basis: P 0.13 - 0032%;
N 0.70·- 1.17%; and S 0.04 - 0.23%. Nutrient levels
in sediment on a dry weight basis were o e P0.03%;
