We conducted a long-term, replicated, field mesocosm study to explicitly test nitrogen (N) reduction as a eutrophication management strategy and found that reducing N inputs into shallow P-rich ecosystems decreases primary production, which can improve oxygen balance and reduce the risk of harmful algal blooms. The ES&T paper is open access and online at: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.est.5c05392?ref=article_openPDF

Introducing Dr. Isabelle Andersen
Introducing Dr. Isabelle Andersen
On May 17th, 2025 I had the pleasure of travelling to Waco, TX to assist Dr. Thad Scott in hooding Isabelle Andersen during her graduation ceremony at Baylor University! Isabelle worked with us to conduct 3+ years of field work involving manipulation of Nitrogen and Phosphorus loads in experimental pond mesocosms located at the University of Mississippi Field Station. She completed a fantastic PhD program and we are looking forward to seeing all the great things she continues to contribute to the field!
