Inorganic nitrogen uptake and river inputs in northern Lake Tanganyika
N Brion, E Nzeyimana, L Goeyens, D Nahimana… - Journal of Great Lakes …, 2006 - Elsevier
Northern Lake Tanganyika is characterized by an almost permanently stratified water
column which causes severe nutrient depletion in surface waters. Any external N source to
surface waters, therefore, is of importance in sustaining primary production. This study
attempted to quantify riverine input of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) to the extreme
northern end of Lake Tanganyika (surface= 900 km2) as well as the DIN uptake by surface
phytoplankton. Results showed that riverine DIN inputs (1,930 tons of N/year) were of similar …
