Control of eutrophication, abnormal increase in phytoplankton. Insight into how ecosystem runs water self-purification. New approach, methodology to study top-down control in ecosystems: first introduction of what author calls ‘inhibitory analysis’
http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/08/control-of-eutrophication-abnormal.html
It is the first article in which the new experimental results of the author were analyzed to give a new fresh insight into ecological mechanisms of eutrophication and abnormal increase in phytoplankton. Also, a new insight into how ecosystem runs water self-purification.
A fundamentally new approach and methodology to study top-down control in ecosystems: the first introduction of what the author calls ‘inhibitory analysis’. The paper presented a new insight in understanding that a decrease in activity of filter-feeders are part of the causes and mechanisms of eutrophication and algal blooms. The paper shows how to identify and measure this new factor which stimulates those negative phenomena.
