Trophic definition

Trophic means nutrition or growth. The trophic state of lakes refers to biological production, plant and animal, that occurs in the lake and the level of production is determined by several factors but primarily phosphorus supply to the lake and by the volume and residence time of water in the lake. Many different indicators are used to describe trophic state such as phosphorus, water clarity, chlorophyll, rooted plant growth and dissolved oxygen.
