 Eutrophication and Re-oligotrophication of Lake Lucerne
Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstättersee), a deep prealpine oligomictic lake has been monitored for chemical, physical and biological parameters since 1961.
The originally oligotrophic, phosphorus-limited lake underwent a period of moderate eutrophication between 1960 and 1979, due to an increase of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) from 5 to 20 mg P/m3 (mean concentrations at complete overturn).
Therefore the lake shows functional but not structural resilience: Today’s oligotrophic community structure differs from the original one of the early sixties and is dominated in spring by centric diatoms and cryptomonads, in summer by pennate diatoms, in autumn by cyanobacteria (Planktothrix rubescens) and in winter by cyanobacteria, cryptomonads and centric diatoms.
