摘要
There is considerable variation in published phosphorus‐chlorophyll relationships, some of which can be accounted for by variation in sampling and analytical techniques. As well, there can be significant inherent variability in a single phosphorus‐chlorophyll relationship under even ideal sampling and analytical conditions. A survey of the literature shows that the cellular chlorophyll content of algae ranges over two orders of magnitude (0.1—9.7% of fresh weight). Average daily radiation intensity and nutrient availability (especially N) appear to be the major factors controlling chlorophyll content of algal cells. The relationship between total phosphorus and phytoplankton biomass for a group of Ontario lakes is better defined if summer average cell volume is used instead of average chlorophyll a concentration.
