Topic WQ: Total Phosphorus in Sheepscot Lakes 1976-2002
 
Caption:  This chart shows mean total phosphorus levels in eight Sheepscot lakes for the period of 1976-2002. Mean phosphorus levels range from 0.008 to 0.028 ppm in Sheepscot lakes and are highest in Travel Pond. The error bars show the standard error. Phosphorous is a major nutrient that limits pant and algae growth in lakes. These data were collected as discrete samples through the Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program and in some cases only one sample was collected per year and sampling often happened between July and September. See individual sub-basin topics for the annual trends in lake phosphorus levels. See Info Links for more information.
