I guess I didn't understand how "fate" fits into this sentence.<br /><br />Because studies have shown that fate and the ftransport process of P in sediments are&nbsp;the major&nbsp;factors...<br /><br />By fate, I'm guessing you mean all the current natural and man-made factors combined will have an inevitable effect on the lake, UNLESS those factors change.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
