| dc.description.abstract | The two most prevalent forms of surface water non-point source pollution in North America are nutrients and sediment. This study was conducted to explore how light attenuation caused by suspended sediments affects a biomonitoring system of nutrient-diffusing periphytometers. Algal response to nutrients was measured as biomass (chlorophyll a) and as chlorophyll c:a ratio. Various conditions were employed to explore the possible use of these measurements to evaluate water quality in terms of nutrient and sediment loading. | |
