Wet and dry deposition of phosphorus into Lake Huron

An estimation of the input of phosphorus to southern Huron lake has shown the contributions of wet and dry deposition to be approximately equal. The data from shore-based integrated fallout samples gave consistently higher results than the sum of wet and dry inputs. The significance of near-shore bi...

Description
Summary:An estimation of the input of phosphorus to southern Huron lake has shown the contributions of wet and dry deposition to be approximately equal. The data from shore-based integrated fallout samples gave consistently higher results than the sum of wet and dry inputs. The significance of near-shore biological activity results in a higher input estimate when the deposition rate from integrated samples is extrapolated to the entire lake surface. It is suggested that the input approaches the sum of the wet and dry depositions.
