TY - T1 - Sediment resuspension as a water quality regulator in lakes SN - / UR - URN:ISBN:978-952-10-4948-4; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/22321 T3 - A1 - Niemistö, Juha A2 - PB - Helsingin yliopisto Y1 - 2008 LA - eng AB - Sediment resuspension, the return of the bottom material into the water column, is an important process that can have various effects on a lake ecosystem. Resuspension caused by wind-induced wave disturbance, currents, turbulent fluctuations and bioturbation affects water quality characteristics such as turbidity, light conditions, and concentrations of suspended solids (SS) and nutrients. Resuspension-mediated increase in turbidity may favour the dominance of phytoplankton over macrophytes.... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - limnologia N1 - PP - ER -
