Oxygen consumption in seasonally stratified lakes decreases only below a marginal phosphorus threshold by Müller, Beat, Steinsberger, Thomas, Schwefel, Robert, Gächter, René, Sturm, Michael, Wüest, Alfred

“…Areal oxygen (O 2 ) consumption in deeper layers of stratified lakes and reservoirs depends on the amount of settling organic matter. As phosphorus (P) limits…”

Why the Phosphorus Retention of Lakes Does Not Necessarily Depend on the Oxygen Supply to Their Sediment Surface by Gaechter, R, Mueller, B

“…In order to improve the trophic state of Lake Sempach, a eutrophied lake in central Switzerland, its external phosphorus (P) load has been decreased and its…”

Is Phosphorus Retention in Autochthonous Lake Sediments Controlled by Oxygen or Phosphorus? by Moosmann, Lorenz, Gaechter, Rene, Mueller, Beat, Wueest, Alfred

“…Eutrophication of various lakes on the Swiss Plateau was targeted in the 1980s by reducing external nutrient loading and installing aeration/oxygenation…”
