Phosphorus and nitrogen cycling in streambed and suspended sediment in Bois Brule and Siskiwit Rivers WI, 2021-2023 Data
Lake Superior is historically a nutrient poor lake that does not typically support significant cyanobacterial blooms. However, the lake has been experiencing an increase in blooms in the western portion of the basin recently. The largest blooms documented have occurred after recent major flooding events, indicating that nutrients transported to the lake during these events may be a source for the blooms. This study looks into the combination of streambed sediment-derived nutrient data during base flow conditions and suspended and settled sediment-derived nutrient data from storm events to provide information about nutrient transformation and storage in the river networks of the Bois Brule River and Siskiwit River watersheds, both tributaries of western Lake Superior.
