“…Although nutrient management strategies for freshwater ecosystems have traditionally focused on the effects of P (Bormans, Maršálek, & Jančula, 2016; Dillon & Rigler, 1974; Litke, 1999; Schindler, Carpenter, Chapra, Hecky, & Orihel, 2016), research shows that addition of N to P‐rich lakes can additionally degrade water quality, stimulate phytoplankton abundance, and promote growth of toxic cyanobacteria at the expense of other phytoplankton taxa (Andersen, Williamson, Gonzalez, & Vanni, 2019; Bunting, Leavitt, Gibson, McGee, & Hall, 2007; Conley et al., 2009; Glibert, Maranger, et al, 2014; Harris, Wilhelm, Graham, & Loftkin, 2014; Van de Waal, Smith, Declerk, Stam, & Elser, 2014). Recent studies also suggest that hypereutrophic lakes may exhibit seasonal variation in nutrient limitation, with P regulation of phytoplankton production during winter and spring, while N limitation is paramount during summer and autumn (Andersen et al., 2019; Chaffin, Bridgeman, & Bade, 2013; Hayes, Vanni, Horgan, & Renwick, 2015; Paerl et al., 2011, 2015). However, predictions of the seasonality of N effects are complicated by temporal variation in the predominant chemical form of N added to surface waters (Cade‐Menum et al, 2013; Lomas, Trice, Glibert, Bronk, & McCarthy, 2002; Newell et al., 2019; Stepanauskas, Laudon, & Jørgensen, 2000), as well as inherent differences in the unique effects (i.e.…”
