New publication by Raoul-Marie Couture and colleagues

A new publication, Modelling phosphorus loading and algal blooms in a nordic, by Raoul-Marie Couture and co-authors is in press. The study presents a network of process-based mass-balance models for phosphorus dynamics in catchments and lakes provides a new approach to simulate the effect of land-use and climate change on water quality. The results suggest that good land use practices can offset the detrimental effects of climate change on water quality.
