Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
This paper will focus on the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus concentration on the growth of algae in Lake Xuanwu. The relationship between algae growing and nitrogen to phosphorus atomic ratios (N:P) analyzed in the experiment, the results showed that N:P was the significant factor affecting the algae growth and phosphorus act as the limiting factor. The optimal ratio of phosphorus and nitrogen was above 15:1, while, obviously, the living condition of algae was not better than that the ratio above it. When the need of the phosphorus concentration via ingest was enough, the best living condition of the algal was 40:1, which solely depended on the nitrogen concentration. In addition, pH also had remarkably impact on algae growing.
