Physicochemical characteristics and trophic state evaluation of post glacial mountain lake using multivariate analysis by S. Nayek, S. Gupta, K.K. Pobi

“…Deviations between Trophic state indices (TSI_CHLa-TSI_SD: -14±7.88, TSI_CHLa-TSI_TP: -9.17±3.33, and TSI_CHLa-TSI_TN: -17.56±5.29) infer that the nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) are not limiting factors for the algal biomass, and non-algal components such as suspended solids soil/sediment particles affects the light attenuation in the monitored lake. The observations reveal that trophic condition of monitored lake is in alarming stage. …”
