CTV Winnipeg: U of M research finds wildfire ash contributing to phosphate levels in Lake Winnipeg

New research from the University of Manitoba finds the phosphorus fallout from climate change may be impacting Lake Winnipeg.

“We estimated that we should have different sources of phosphorus, including dust from agricultural land or pollen from trees around the lake and another component would be wildfire,” said Dr. Masoud Goharrhoki, a research associate from the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba.

Goharrhoki has been working with the Lake Winnipeg Research Consortium for the past year.
