摘要:

Mixing depth and turbidity negatively affect the productivity of an aquatic environment through the control they exert on the effective energy available for photosynthesis. A feedback equation is developed that defines the interaction of these two quantities with the production by phytoplankton. The equation permits calculation of the relative productivity of any body of water provided nutrients are assumed adequate, and provided depth of mixing and turbidity are known. Calculated relative production corresponded very well with observed production for a series of 33 small shallow ponds. The possibility is advanced that the same principles apply to reservoirs when thermocline depth can be regarded as mixing depth, and further, it is suggested that the productivity of reservoirs might be increased by reducing the depth of the mixed layer by withdrawing from the surface. In addition, this practice might further enhance production by mixing deeper water, richer in nutrients, into the euphotic zone during the productive season.
