Nutrient retention
| Stressor type | Temperature |
|---|---|
| Responding parameter group | Physico-chemical parameters |
| Responding parameter | Nutrient retention |
Response description
Longer season and warmer temperatures can lead to increased primary production.
Relevant ecoregion(s) according to Illies
All Nordic ecoregions
Suggested indicator
Rate of primary production
Justification of indicator
Retention of nutrients is potentially greater where production is high.
Suggested indicator 2
Oxidation rate
Justification of indicator 2
High rates of oxidation and mineralisation can liberate nutrients, and reduce their retention in the wetland
