The evolution of the trophic state of the Palić Lake (Serbia)
Gržetić Ivan 
Čamprag Nataša
The Palić Lake is a shallow lake typical for the Pannonian Plain. Due inadequate water quality, it was dried out in 1971 and re-established in 1977 and since than its trophicity has been worsening. Investigation of the long-term changes in the trophic state of this lake were tracked over the total phosphorous (TP), total nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll-a and Secchi disk transparency (SD transparency), expressed as the Carlson Trophic State Index (TSI). Regarding the TSI values, the water of the Palić Lake has been constantly evolving from eutrophic to hypereutrophic. TN/TP values < 10 indicate that nitrogen is the limiting factor for algal growth.
