Title: Evaluation of historical data on the nutrient status of Esthwaite Water, Cumbria
Author: J.F. Talling

Document Type: Monograph
Abstract:
This report reviews and interprets the past scientific records bearing on the changing nutrient status and plant production of the Esthwaite Water, a small lake located in Cumbria. Besides the element of historical description, attention is also given to probable causal relationships. Changes are mostly discussed in relation to time-scales from decades to seasons. Most information relates to concentrations of nutrients and plant numbers or biomass; reliable estimates of material fluxes, of undisputed importance, are few.
