Abstract

In the article the trophic status of thirty one fresh-water lakes of China was described. Four lakes are characterized as mesotrophic, seventeen lakes have eutrotrophic status, and ten lakes are hypertrophic. Critical phosphorus loading for five biggest fresh-water lakes was calculated. The relationship between average and maximal depth of 141 lakes was revealed.
