Growth rate and biomass responses of periphytic algae to phosphorus enrichment : in experimental flumes, Athabasca River, seasonal variation, 1993 and 1994 / by Alec R. Dale and Patricia A. Chambers.R71-49/3-68E

This report presents the results of an experiment conducted in artificial streams (flumes) in which the growth rate and biomass response of periphyton (algae) was studied in relation to phosphorus (P) concentrations in the water. The goal of this study was to determine whether periphyton growth in the Athabasca River is phosphorus limited, and if the degree of phosphorus limitation varied seasonally. The experiment was designed to test periphyton growth and biomass response to a gradient of phosphorus additions during fall and early spring. The flumes were located on-site, adjacent to the Athabasca River at Hinton.--Study perspective
