Modelling nitrogen transformation in the Lake Bunyonyi ecosystem, South‑Western Uganda by Alex, Saturday, Thomas, J. Lyimo, John, Machiwa, Siajali, Pamba

“…The developed model predicted reasonably well the behaviour of the lake evidenced by the validation results of observed and simulated data that showed good linear regression coefficients (R2) of organic nitrogen (0.48), ammonia–nitrogen (0.68), and nitrate–nitrogen (0.61). The model has proven suitable for application on lakes with characteristics similar to that of Lake Bunyonyi. …”
