[Ecological stoichiometric relationships of periphyton community elemental composition and variations of water quality in the Chaobai River].

Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) of water and periphyton were analyzed in the Chaobai River to investigate how anthropogenic river pollution affected the periphyton community and its elemental composition. The results of this study showed that NH4(+) -N and NO(x)(-) -N accounted for 52%, 28% of TN in the Chaobai River, respectively, while 1.6%, 38% of TN in the Baihe River.
