Research Project Report
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to find the relationshop between photosynthetic rate and phytoplankton density in Two Ocean Lake, Grand Teton National Park. Since there is only a finite rate of incoming light energy, it was proposed by the investigator that the photosynthetic rate would reach a maximum value and not exceed that value in spite of increased phytoplankton density. Figure 1 shows this hypothesis graphically. Project Number 185.
