TLDR
The variable nutrient dynamics that the authors observed among the three study lakes appears to be typical for shallow lake systems, which indicates that a greater reliance on lake-specific research may be required for effective management, and a lesser role of inter-lake generalization than is possible for deeper, dimictic lake systems.About:

Controlling Eutrophication: Nitrogen and Phosphorus
Daniel J. Conley,Hans W. Paerl,Robert W. Howarth,Donald F. Boesch,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Karl E. Havens,Christiane Lancelot,Gene E. Likens +7 more
TL;DR: Improvements in the water quality of many freshwater and most coastal marine ecosystems requires reductions in both nitrogen and phosphorus inputs.

Controlling harmful cyanobacterial blooms in a world experiencing anthropogenic and climatic-induced change
TL;DR: Water quality managers are in dire need of effective tools to break the synergy between nutrient loading and hydrologic regimes made more favorable for CyanoHABs by climate change.

Controlling harmful cyanobacterial blooms in a hyper-eutrophic lake (Lake Taihu, China): The need for a dual nutrient (N & P) management strategy
Hans W. Paerl,Hai Xu,Mark J. McCarthy,Mark J. McCarthy,Guangwei Zhu,Boqiang Qin,Yiping Li,Wayne S. Gardner +7 more
TL;DR: Results point to the need to reduce both N and P inputs for long-term eutrophication and cyanobacterial bloom control in this hyper-eutrophic system.

A review of the global ecology, genomics, and biogeography of the toxic cyanobacterium, Microcystis spp.
Matthew J. Harke,Morgan M. Steffen,Christopher J. Gobler,Timothy G. Otten,Steven W. Wilhelm,Susanna A. Wood,Hans W. Paerl +6 more
TL;DR: The ability of Microcystis assemblages to minimize their mortality losses by resisting grazing by zooplankton and bivalves, as well as viral lysis, and discuss factors facilitating assemblage resilience are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Influences on Nitrogen Removal in Lakes
TL;DR: Using a global lake data set, it is shown that the availability of phosphorus, a limiting nutrient, affects both annual nitrogen removal rate and efficiency and indicates that increased phosphorus inputs from human activities have stimulated nitrogen removal processes in many lakes.

The phosphorus‐chlorophyll relationship in lakes1,2
P. J. Dillon,F. H. Rigler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, data for summer chlorophyll and spring total phosphorus concentration were collected from 19 lakes in southern Ontario and combined with data reported in the literature for other North American lakes to produce a regression line that can be used to predict the average summer CHP from a single measurement of phosphorus concentration at spring overturn.

Input-output models
TL;DR: In this paper, mass balance and export models are explored in relation to eutrophication as caused by phosphorus and nitrogen in lakes and it is shown that lakes having long water renewal times are much more sensitive to phosphorus loading than would appear from mean depth only.
