NITROLIMIT: Nitrogen limitation in freshwaters – Is nitrogen reduction 
ecologically meaningful and economically feasible?
Aims and scope: The impact of nitrogen on the regulation of 
phytoplankton growth and biomass will be studied in comparison to other 
relevant environmental variables to analyze whether nitrogen reduction 
is a meaningful measure to improve the ecological state of lakes and 
rivers. Nitrogen input into lakes and rivers, internal turnover rates 
and retention will be quantified. Results on nitrogen input and 
retention as well as its ecological effectiveness will be used to 
improve ecosystem and catchment area models for the simulation of 
different scenarios of lake and river development. Costs and benefits of 
nitrogen reduction will be analyzed and recommendations for sustainable 
management of lakes and rivers will be compiled.
