Nutrient Limitation In A Southwestern Desert Reservoir: Eutrophication Of Las Vegas Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada, Davine M. Lieberman Sep 1995

Nutrient Limitation In A Southwestern Desert Reservoir: Eutrophication Of Las Vegas Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada, Davine M. Lieberman

Publications (WR)

Algal bioassay tests were conducted with Selenastrum capricornutum and natural algae on inner Las Vegas Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada, from December 1992 through September 1993, to identify any nutrient limitation in an area of the reservoir that has experienced problems associated with severe nutrient enrichment. Three areas were sampled based on a gradient of water quality conditions that existed in Las Vegas Bay (LVB). Disodium ethylenedinitrilotetraacetate (EDTA) significantly stimulated algal growth compared to non-EDTA treatment. Algal bioassays indicated that phosphorus (P) was the primary limiting nutrient at all stations for most of the test dates. Chl a response with EDTA …


The Formation And Voltammetric Behavior Of Manganese Chlorophyll, Qingdong Qiao May 1995

The Formation And Voltammetric Behavior Of Manganese Chlorophyll, Qingdong Qiao

Journal of Electrochemistry

The formation and voltam metric behavior of manganese chlorophyll werestudied.The electrochemical red uction mechanism of Mn chlorophyll a (MnChla)in aqueous solutionwas investigated and discussed.During the electrored uction of MnChla ,the porphyrin ring was singlyreduced with 2 electrons and the Mn ̄(2+) ion remained its original state,The reduction rate constant k_m=0.36/s was gained.
