[Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Phosphorus in the Dongting Lake at Different Water Periods].

To study the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of phosphorus in the Dongting Lake at different water periods, water samples were collected from 18 representative monitoring sections located in the Dongting Lake and its upper rivers from January to December 2016. Various forms of phosphorus concentration in the samples were analyzed. The results showed that, overall, the average concentrations (range) of total phosphorus (TP), total dissolved phosphorus (DTP), and phosphate (DPO) in the Dongting Lake were 0.
