Abstract | This study develops a powerful modification to the framework of trophic status assessment for a specific ecosystem, which is illustrated with a comprehensive analysis of long-term water quality dataset from Lake Champlain (1992-2012). We used this system as a case study to revisit and revise the Carlson's TSI equations (1977) that are commonly employed for trophic status assessment in the water quality literature. Our results highlight the necessity to apply this modified approach to individual lake data sets |
