“…Nutrient manipulations included three treatments: 1) control, which received only groundwater, i.e., no additional nutrient additions, and represented low nutrient conditions, and two treatments with additional nutrient additions, representing high nutrient conditions: 2) P addition and 3) addition of both P and N. Nutrient input and variation in the N:P ratio control phytoplankton production and community structure (Abell et al, 2010). On June 14, 2018, the N additions were discontinued to decrease the N:P ratio potentially inducing N limitation (Pacheco et al, 2021). The N additions resumed on June 14, 2019.…”
