✦ Synopsis

There is considerable variation in published phosphorus-chlorophyll relationships, some of which can be acrounted 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~/0 of fresh weight). Average daily radiation intensity and nutrient availability (especially N) appear t o be the major factors controlling chlorophyll rontcnt 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.

Concentrations of total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll a (CHLA) were measured in 28 lakes in the High Tatra Mountains (Slovakia) from 1983 to 1990. The relationship between log CHLA and log TP in the Tatra lakes is similar to relationships developed for lakes in other regions, but variation is high
