Nutrient productivity relationships in tropical Naivasha basin lakes; Kenya
Abstract
Nutrient availability and seasonal variation
have often been cited as the principal factors controlling
rates of primary productivity and phytoplankton
abundance in tropical African lakes. Very few
studies of nutrient dynamics in this region, however,
are available to test this hypothesis. A quantitative
study of nutrient-productivity relationships was
undertaken from January 1979 to July 1981 on three
equatorial lakes in Naivasha basin,Kenya
