Research on Temporal and Spatial Variation Characteristics of Eutrophication in the Xiaojiang River Basin under the Change of Water Level in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area by ZHOU Xingyue, HUANG Gang, ZHU Shujing

“…The results showed that: (1) The phytoplankton bloom occurs frequently when the water level in the Three Gorges Reservoir area is low (163 m) and continues to drop, and it decreases significantly when the water level is high (173 m) and continues to rise; (2)Phytoplankton blooms are easy to break out in Xiaojiang River Basin in spring; (3) The regulation of water level in the Three Gorges Reservoir area has the greatest impact on the occurrence of phytoplankton blooms in the middle reaches of Xiaojiang River Basin, followed by the upper and lower reaches. Therefore, the change of water level in the Three Gorges Reservoir area has a high correlation with the occurrence regularity of phytoplankton blooms in the Xiaojiang River Basin. …”
